Islam in U.S. Schools

Hundreds of US schools now participating in program led by ‘ISIS supporting’ Qatari government

Posted on November 2, 2014 Written by http://eagnews.org

WASHINGTON, D.C. – More than 300 K-12 schools in Amer­ica have joined Pres­i­dent Obama’s Con­nect All Schools ini­tia­tive since its launch­ing in March of 2011.

The ini­tia­tive, which seeks to “con­nect every school in the US with the world by 2016,” is a part­ner­ship of the US Depart­ment of Edu­ca­tion, US Depart­ment of State, and Qatar Foun­da­tion International.

Accord­ing to Con­nect All Schools, it all began with Pres­i­dent Obama’s “his­toric speech” in Cairo, Egypt in 2009 where he expressed his desire to “cre­ate a new online net­work, so a young per­son in Kansas can com­mu­ni­cate instantly with a young per­son in Cairo.”

In an effort to build “global com­pe­tency” by con­nect­ing US stu­dents to stu­dents around the world, Con­nect All Schools and its part­ners facil­i­tate schools with global issues cur­ricu­lum, online col­lab­o­ra­tion, youth and teacher exchanges, pro­fes­sional devel­op­ment on inter­na­tional edu­ca­tion, video-conferences, and more.

For exam­ple, at Alice Deal Mid­dle School in Wash­ing­ton, DC, stu­dents con­nected with Israel, Saudi Ara­bia, and Syria for a les­son that exam­ined “how the media in the U.S. stereo­types Mus­lims in a neg­a­tive light.”

At North­west School in Seat­tle, Wash­ing­ton, 6th grade stu­dents par­tic­i­pated in a Global Issues unit that, accord­ing to Con­nect All Schools, allowed them to “see them­selves in a global con­text and gain knowl­edge of how resources are spread unequally around the world.”

“This unit is about research and inves­ti­ga­tion of the inter­con­nect­ed­ness of global issues,” says North­west co-teacher, Heather Hall. “But the most sig­nif­i­cant aspect is the action com­po­nent. Each stu­dent inves­ti­gates, designs, and car­ries out an action in the local com­mu­nity to address a global problem.”

As reported in 2012, the Qatar Foun­da­tion has close ties to the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood and was started by the for­mer Emir of Qatar and founder of Al Jazeera news net­work, Sheikh Hamad Bin Khal­ifa Al Thani.

Carnegie Cor­po­ra­tion Pres­i­dent Var­tan Gre­go­rian, who played a sig­nif­i­cant role in the cre­ation of the Com­mon Core State Stan­dards, is a Qatar Foun­da­tion board mem­ber.

In 2006, the coun­try of Qatar donated $100 mil­lion dol­lars to the city of New Orleans for hur­ri­cane recov­ery efforts. From that dona­tion, $12.5 mil­lion was used to build a Col­lege of Phar­macy build­ing at Xavier Uni­ver­sity. Sheikh Hamad bin Khal­ifa attended the ground­break­ing ceremony.

Sev­eral Amer­i­can uni­ver­si­ties, includ­ing Carnegie Mel­lon, Texas A&M, and North­west­ern, have estab­lished satel­lite cam­puses in Dohar, Qatar and par­tic­i­pate in stu­dent exchange programs.

In an effort to alert these uni­ver­si­ties and oth­ers to the fact that Qatar is a “per­ni­cious spon­sor of Islamic ter­ror,” Col. Allen West, Frank Gaffney, Jr. of the Cen­ter for Secu­rity Pol­icy, and Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs, recently joined with sev­eral oth­ers to start the Qatar Aware­ness Campaign.

Accord­ing to the group:

Qatar is arguably the pre­em­i­nent spon­sor of ter­ror in the world today. It is a bene­fac­tor of the geno­ci­dal armies of ISIS, al Qaeda, and Boko Haram; it is involved in Tal­iban nar­cotics traf­fick­ing through a rela­tion­ship with the Pak­istani National Logis­tics Cell; and prof­its from oper­at­ing a vir­tual slave state. Qatar has lever­aged its rela­tion­ships with vio­lent jihadi groups to its own ben­e­fit, and to the detri­ment of the United States and her allies.

In addi­tion to the Con­nect All Schools ini­tia­tive, Qatar has gained access to America’s K-12 stu­dents through other edu­ca­tion pro­grams as well.

For exam­ple, Qatar Foun­da­tion International’s “flag­ship” Ara­bic Lan­guage and Cul­ture pro­gram is offered in sev­eral US schools and districts.

In 2012, PS 368 in Hamil­ton Heights Man­hat­tan became the first school in the coun­try to imple­ment the organization’s Ara­bic lan­guage course as a required course of study for its ele­men­tary students.

Qatar’s access to America’s youth, how­ever, is not lim­ited to online inter­ac­tions and the imple­men­ta­tion of global cur­ric­ula. Last year, for exam­ple, stu­dents from New Orleans’ Inter­na­tional High School were selected by the Qatar Foun­da­tion to travel to Doha to rep­re­sent the US in a Model United Nations assembly.

  The Connect All Schools Trojan Horse is but one of many Muslim initiatives to infiltrate U.S. education.  Charter schools need to avoid contracting their schools out to any private company. Gulen, a Turkish education company operates 120 Charter schools in the U.S. All of their teachers are Muslim. They are given H1b visas and flown here to stay. 
  Public education quality and outcomes are poor.  Some say the end of school prayer in the 1960s was the cause.  But, investigations show moves to dumb down public education as far back as the 1920s.  Adding Liberal propaganda and offering “new math” to the curriculum marked the current decline.
  Public education is in the same spot U,S, automobile manufacturers found themselves in the 1970s with unions and sloppy engineering. We will find relief with school choice.
