An elementary school teacher in Chesapeake, Va. has been charged with simple assault after a parent claimed her daughter’s hand was cut open as a result of the teacher yanking her arm aggressively while trying to teach students an “Islamic hand sign.”
Islamic indoctrination here in the US schools??? Say it aint so!

The mother said her daughter told her that Harris “prays to Allah in Arabic” around five times a day in front of students and teaches them about Islam and how it is superior to other religions. Bennett claims other parents have confirmed her suspicions after talking with their kids.

People will suck down the wildest of interpretations of an event in order to suit their deluded views of the world.

"The way Bennett described it, it sounds like an upside A-OK hand gesture. It is unclear exactly which “Islamic hand sign” was being promoted as the source information comes from children."

Went down so smooth for you too, didn't it, SourD.

Bennett’s daughter suffers from a processing disorder, making it difficult for her to quickly grasp things like hand signs. “Not that she’s uneducated or anything. It’s just a processing problem,” the mother said.
Nobody is just plain stupid anymore.

Neither of you is inclined to ever pass up on this standard thread type around here. We get tons of these.

Somebody does something bad, try to portray them as representative of all (insert opposing political faction).

Just this week we had the drunk lady say not to arrest me I'm republican thread and of course the teacher that got after the girl wearing the romney shirt....and many many more.

Then we get 8-10 pages of partisan bickering where of course the OTHER side is the hypocrit and blah blah blah.
