Important newly exposed details and needed action regarding Islamic infiltration and indoctrination in American school textbooks. Via UAC:

Members of the United American Committee (UAC), in cooperation with members of ACT! for America’s Mission Viejo California Chapter, are researching what America’s K-12 history textbooks teach about Islam and Islamic history. Comprehensive evaluations by the Textbook League headquartered in Sausalito, CA and the American Textbook Council based in New York City have independently concluded that America’s school children are being indoctrinated with a sugar-coated portrayal of Islam, Islamic history and Muhammad which has been sanitized and propagandized through the efforts of Islamic activists.

In California and probably all other states children are introduced to Islam and Islamic history in Grade 7 History & Social Science, and virtually all U.S.Grade 7 history textbooks contain a 3-4 week unit on Islam. Basically, our 12 year-olds are being taught that Islam preserved and increased the world’s knowledge of science, art, literature, philosophy, medicine, and logical thinking throughout Christianity’s Dark Ages; that Islam was spread throughout the Mediterranean world, Middle East, Asia, India and Indonesia by traders and readily accepted because of its’ doctrines of charity, fidelity, tolerance, goodness and respect for Allah and his most important and exemplary final prophet, Muhammad. Islamic legends, heresay and beliefs are often presented as facts. There is scant or no mention of piracy, kidnapping, slave-taking, cruel punishments, persecution, intolerance, treaty-breaking, forced conversions or the repression of women. Our children are being indoctrinated with a white-washed view of Islam and Islamic history designed to make any contradictory evidence they receive later seem suspect or invalid.

Both studies identify the Council on Islamic Education (CIE) as a principal Muslim activist group which has successfully propagandized U.S. textbooks. This self-appointed self-annointed “council”, which basically consists of no more than 3-4 Muslims, has effectively lobbied state Departments of Education and textbook publishers to the point where it virtually controls what is taught about Islam in our nations public schools. The CIE also develops supplemental instructional materials which slip into schools “under the radar” of normal vetting and adoption processes. The CIE also provides teacher training workshops. Strangely, this CIE has been housed since 1983 in district facilities of the Fountain Valley School District, a Southern California K-8 district with about 5,900 students.

Our Textbook Study group is launching a 3-pronged effort to remedy this situation, as follows:

Task 1: Convince the Fountain Valley School Board to: (a) Expel the Council on Islamic Education (recently renamed by its founder/director as the Institute on Religion and Civic Values (IRCV)) from their District facilities, (b) Bar purchase or use of any CIE supplementary instructional materials, (c) Forbid CIE from training District teachers, and (d) order the CIE/IRCV to immediately cease using the District Office address as their official mailing address.

Task 2: Protest and expose the information being presented to California school children as inaccurate, subverted, misleading Islamicized propaganda to the California Board of Education (BOE), demand restructuring of California “frameworks” which guide schools and textbook publishers, and establish procedures which will insure that California adopts only textbooks which accurately present balanced information containing truthful information about Islam and Islamic history. This may well require that State Education Code Sec. 60044 be revised or eliminated. It currently reads:

“No instructional materials shall be adopted by any governing board for use in the schools which, in its determination, contains:
(a) Any matter reflecting adversely upon persons because of their race, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, sex, handicap, or occupation.
(b) Any sectarian or denomination doctrine or propaganda contrary to law.

State Department of Education officials claim this code section makes it impossible for anything negative or critical to be taught about Islam, Muslims, or any other religion.

Task 3: Convince U.S. textbook publishers that pressure groups such as the Council on Islamic Education should not be allowed to rewrite or revise history, will not be permitted to influence state textbook adoption committees, and that historical information about all religions shall be accurate and balanced with beliefs not fully supported by factual evidence presented only as beliefs and not as facts.

George Santayana famously warned, “Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it”. Indeed, we cannot permit history which is taught to our children to be rewritten, sanitized or stripped of that which is accurate, truthful, and important, merely to avoid offending or embarrassing any individual or group. To allow this in any form is to open the door to history’s use as propaganda and thus deprive it of its’ usefulness and importance.

Soon we will be providing reports, suggested letters, and contact information for officials who need to hear from many, many, MANY voices to bring about needed changes to our textbooks.

We urge you to pass this information to members, parents, acquaintances and all who might be willing to help in these efforts. More information will be forthcoming. Those who are particularly interested and willing to help or contribute to the support of this effort are invited to reply to Al Rowley directly al@unitedamericancommittee.org

Please share this with your friends.
