Another blatant violation of the establishment clause. Imagine if any a public school told teachers to bless Christian of Jewish students. It’s a bloody outrage.
Seattle School District Wants Teachers To Bless Muslims During Ramadan
“The district is running roughshod over the First Amendment’s mandate…”
By Paul Bois, Daily Wire, May 7, 2019:
Story continues below advertisementA school district in Seattle has sent out a letter asking teachers to bless its Muslim students in Arabic during the month of Ramadan and give them preferential treatment, such as obtaining dispensations for classes and exams, reports Fox News.
In response to the letter, the religious liberty legal defense group Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund (FCDF), has threatened the Dieringer School District with a potential lawsuit for violating the conscience of its employees. FCDF alleges that the district followed edicts put forward by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) that advises schools to accommodate Muslim students by wishing them “Ramadan Mubarak” (Happy Ramadan) or “Ramadan Kareem” (Have a generous Ramadan). The edicts also instruct teachers to respect the Ramadan fast by not scheduling any tests during the holidays of Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha. More from Fox News.
The defense fund claims Dieringer Superintendent Judy Martinson blindly followed the recommendations of CAIR and “enacted the letter as official district policy.” The defense fund sent Martinson a letter stating their complaints after a teacher and parent complained about the new procedure.
The May 6 letter also warned Martinson about CAIR’s anti-semitic advocacy and alleged ties to radical Islamists, which the group has long denied.
Daniel Piedra, FCDF’s executive director, said in a statement that the Seattle-area school district is violating teachers’ First Amendment rights by exerting pressure upon them to engage in religious speech with which they do not agree. Piedra argues that the district would never advise teachers to accommodate Christian students in such a similar manner.
“By urging teachers to bless Muslim students in Arabic, the district is running roughshod over the First Amendment’s mandate of government neutrality toward religion,” said Piedra. “A school district would never order teachers to ‘welcome’ Catholic students during Easter with ‘He is risen, alleluia!’ Singling out Muslim students for special treatment is blatantly unconstitutional.”
Ibrahim Hooper, national communications director for CAIR, denounced the potential lawsuit in a statement to Fox News as a “sign of the growing Islamophobia in our nation that showing respect for and accommodating the religious traditions of Muslim students could result in punitive legal action.”
“Pluralism in America means recognizing the wide variety of holidays celebrated by students of different faiths and backgrounds, including by saying ‘Merry Christmas,’ ‘Happy Hanukkah,’ ‘Happy Diwali,’ or ‘Ramadan Mubarak,'” Hooper added.
The FCDF complaint goes beyond just mere accommodation of Muslim students by the school district, arguing that CAIR’s mission is to raise Ramadan to the equivalence of Christmas on the school calendar, thereby disrupting the academic schedule.
“This approach is wrong for two reasons. First, adding Islamic holidays does not further the district’s educational mission and academic goals,” the FCDC said in a statement. “Recognizing holidays is constitutional only if the purpose is to provide secular instruction about religious traditions, rather than to promote the particular religion involved. Second, CAIR’s recommendation that teachers schedule tests around Eid Al-Fitr and Eid would alleviate no burden on Muslim students.”
Ramadan began on Monday. During the month-long Islamic holiday, observant Muslims must fast during the day.

They are aided by the dumb , ignorant Left/Liberal loons coming out of colleges/schools run by pro-jihadi left/liberal loons
And by the time they realise their stupidity they get assaulted , gang raped or murdered like this couple its too late for them https://tinyurl.com/yahupccy
Problem is they enable evil while not able to see evil thanks to pro-jihadi left/liberal indoctrination in schools/colleges where real history of islam and America is no longer taught.

Death by Smugness
Yes, you are correct. After the woman who controls the “letters to the editor” section of our local paper declined to publish my letter about Islam she proceeded to tell me how misinformed about Islam I am. So, according to her, Islam is all sweetness an light and they seek nothing more than to be left alone to practice their peaceful religion! After all, they’re such nice people! I asked her if she ever actually read even one page of the koran or investigated what’s actually happening in Europe as we speak to which her response was crickets! Apparently most folks are perfectly content to believe whatever the left puts out without even checking the facts for themselves. We are headed down a dark road in America and it appears most folks are pleased as punch to go there.
Stupid…Stupid…Stupid..Washington State …submitting to Islam…CAIR is no more than the front for the Muslim Brotherhood…Goofy school district…submitting to Ramadan and giving privilege to the little Moooslime Cockroaches…They are learning at a young age how they are being given special treatment being Muslim.
Better study up on Islam America before you are hearing the 5 AM call to prayer Nationwide.
There again we are being brought to our knees by a few Muslim Mohamed loving horde that will cut your head off for not submitting …As long as we here in USA kiss their butts and give them the moon every time they cry waaahh we being treated and singled out because we are Muslim ….then what you see is what you will get..
Submission …Idiots in that school district should join them on their knees saying the prayers right along side of them .. By proxy your special treatment is doing just that…stupidity on steroids …God help you idiots.

thanks for instigating violence toward muslims …
please DO NOT delete these kind of comments .. !!
at the height of New Zealand mosque mass shooting … these kind of posting is what you need to get into deep troubles ….
“instigating violence toward muslims” is called resistance muslum chumpanzee.
please DO NOT delete this very dangerous comment ..
Hello, little semenjerkoff. “thanks for instigating violence toward” Christians.
“please DO NOT delete these kind of comments .. !!”
And, the moslem (the vilest of ALL creatures) book, the queeranne, is the cause of the hundreds upon hundreds of Christians, brutally MURDERED by moslems, in Sri Lanka. Easter Sunday. The queeranne is responsible for the OVER six thousand Christians, brutally murdered by moslems, in Nigeria .. in 2018 … AND the 90,000 Christians that were murdered by moslems (the vilest of ALL creature), just last year worldwide. At the height of Christians, being brutally murdered by moslems, your postings is all that you need to get into VERY “deep troubles”.

I wonder how much money CAIR secretly gave to this traitor lady to give Muzzziess special privilage.
What does these Guilt Ridden Leftists think is going to happen when the “Religion of No Peace” gets even larger? Do they(Leftists Sheeple) really think that when the rise of Muzzziess happens here in the US that somehow their Liberal lifestyles will be compatible with them?! Bwhahahaha!
They are going to be begging us for help, because it is them that the Muzzziess are going to MESS with first & it is NOT going to be PRETTY!
I don’t believe the left is thinking anymore. Muslims are not content to be the exotic creatures under the thumb of the DEMS. IIhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib should be a red flag to them…. AOC is also out of control and snubbing Pelosi and other DEMS.

Ramadan fasting ? missing lunch and pigging out at night? Geez Louise ! What are we going to do if they force all non muslims to kiss muslim asses ?
Considering their toilet habits I wonder what kind of stench cloud is created when they all at the same time are poking their arses in the air ??
Actually the fasting isn’t as much a problem as the fact they can’t drink ANY liquids at all. I used to know a Lebanese Christian airline pilot. He was once stuck in some muslum sh!ttystan on Ramadan and observed a man take a drink from a public water fountain during the day on Ramadan; some f’ing muslums set upon the man like rabid dogs and beat him unconscious and no one did ANYTHING to stop it.
Where are the brave, brave atheists of today? Where are the brave, brave atheists who expunged Christian prayer from public schools now? Busily collaborating to introduce muslum prayer into public schools today for bribes?
I’m not sure the left really understands just how bad Islam is. I think their hatred of Christianity blinds them. The U.S. was founded on Judeo Christian principles and they want that gone. Wait till they discover what Islam is all about!
….and of cause miserable disgusting cowardice !!
This is just another reason why seattle is the scheiss hole of the northwest. To hell with your ramadamn and may you be covered in pork fat.
How would one say “May the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob bless and save you” in Arab? Inquiring minds and all…
According to google’s English to Arabic translator –
May the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob bless and save you
=
بارك الله إبراهيم وإسحق ويعقوب
barak allah ‘iibrahim wa’iishaq wayaequb
The only problem is Islam goes their separate way with Ishmael, the illegitimate son of Abraham and Hagar. Hagar was Sarah’s servant. Ishmael is regarded as a prophet and an ancestor to Muhammad. Ishmael also became associated with Mecca and the construction of the Kaaba. Muslims don’t recognize Isaac as the legitimate son of Abraham and Sarah or having the superior blessing the same way Jews and Christians do.
Exactly why Isaac should be in the statement. To point the Muslims toward the right path of blessing…
Muslims should be blessed with any caliber Greater or equal to .30.
Shoot to kill. Dead people don’t sue.
Be safe, be trained, be alert.
do you think your violent comments don’t have consequence ??
think deeper ..
Now ask me if I care.
please DO NOT delete all your violent comments toward muslims …
thats my demand to u ..
please DO NOT delete all your violent comments toward Jews and Christians …
that’s my demand to u ..
that may be the problem, too much thinking and no doing unto those that would murder you given the chance.
Look in a mirror. You are the violent one, full of misplaced hatred.
show me a single violent comment that i made ….
Says the mugger to the victim…
do you think your violent comments don’t have consequence ??
think deeper ..
F@#K Islam
Seconded!
And the camel it rode in on.
….and their Harem, I mean goat herd, as well.
harshness is your true nature …
After slaughtering millions of kufar in the 20th century and tens of thousands of kufar in the 21st you f’ing muslum vermin deserve nothing less but probably a lot more.
thanks for consistently showing your judeo-christian harshness and insults ….
muslims slaughtering millions of kufar ???
hmmmmmmm … if it’s true that islam is about killing kufars … i am wondering why most of 1.5 billions muslims are non arabs living outside of arab peninsula ???
can u answer my question ??
Dear dumb, Indonesian, muslum chumpanzee, you might think the kufar are dumb but that’s only because you’re stupidly arrogant. The kufar have noticed that you f’ing muslum vermin have been committing genocides allah over the world: in Bangladesh (in the 1970’s), in greater Pakistain (in 1948 following the partition), in E. Timor (how many kufar did YOU kill semen?), in Armenia/Turkey, in the Sudan, in Nigeria (NOW).
And goat plowing must be your true nature
homosexuality is your true nature …
Yet another front opens up in this relentless assault on our values.
A parent there needs to enquire whether Headmistress {don’t it sound bossy} Judy Martinson needs a brain implant.
Eggs and flour are cheap – offer her some.
I was just looking up their school district run by Judy Neumeier-Martinson,
Superintendent. She’s another airhead liberal. I see no Muslim names as teachers and oddly they don’t have a break down on race/ethnicity. or breakdown on academic achievement. – probably because genuine achievement is the last thing they want. https://www.dieringer.wednet.edu/cms/One.aspx?portalId=244149&pageId=15037548
I do see the usual worn out words, stakeholders, collaborative , sustainable etc. gobbledygook and of course the emphasis on salary and small classes so tenured teachers have less to do. They always want more money to do less work.Pacific Rim countries out perform the U.S. and have large classes! They are still using Obama’s dumbed down Common Core curriculum.
============================================================================
Seattle, Washington Population 2019
(From a census in 2010)
Seattle has historically had a mostly white population. While Seattle’s percentage of white residents is lower than the United States as a whole and declining, it is still one of the whitest large cities in the U.S. From 1960 to 2010, the percentage of whites in Seattle has dropped from 91.6% to 66.5%.
…
Seattle’s foreign-born population has increased by 40% in ten years. Of the Asian population, 4.1% are Chinese with origins in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Seattle also has a large Vietnamese community with more than 30,000 Somali immigrants. The Seattle metro area is also home to one of the largest Samoan populations in the mainland United States.
There is also a large lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population in Seattle, which is one of the highest per capita in the country. 12.9% of Seattle citizens identify as gay, lesbian or bisexual, just behind San Francisco

“Stupid is as stupid does”. Sound familiar??
It’s beyond that. It’s CAIR pushing this on a school in a shiiithole. They think they an get away with it there.
Seattle and Portland, OR are in a struggle to see who can out-californicate the other. This buffoonery/insanity even exceeds Calif standards.
Some people in USA seem to have lost their sense of proportion and even their minds. Why do they not suggest we fall down and kiss their feet during the fast? The cult of obeisance is out of control.
‘the district followed edicts put forward by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) that advises schools to accommodate Muslim students.’
An ‘edict’ is a command or instruction given by someone in authority. (Collins dictionary)
‘advice’, you tell them what you think they should do in a particular situation.
CAIR does not have the authority to issue edicts and advice is something one can ignore!
I’d be OK with “Happy Ramadan” or “I hope you have a good Ramadan” in English, just general good wishes and politeness. That’s not too much for them to ask in parallel with similar treatment for Jewish, Christian or Hindu holidays. Doing it in Arabic is too religious for a public school. Do these phrases have any different meanings or overtones in Arabic we don’t know about? Don’t say phrases in foreign languages you don’t know.
It’s like wishing Satan a happy day.and gives Islam more standing. I refuse to perpetuate such an evil ideology. No thanks. Other religions here don’t demand special accommodations and greetings in a foreign language.
You do realize that Muslims do NOT celebrate any of our holidays? Not one! New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day, President’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving, Easter, Passover, Hanukkah, July 4th – NONE of them! Muslims despise our country. I want them to feel uncomfortable here and stop coming here – ideally LEAVE!
Amen …kick their hateful asses out! They do NOT want to integrate..stop pandering to them!
If Christians can’t say Merry Christmas, mooslimes say happy xxxx
What about the separation of mosque and state?
how about the separation of church and western’s life ???
How about the separation of semen jerkoff and goats’ rectums ??
as far as i know … rectum’s lifestyles/marriages are inherent part of your syphilization … enshrined .. cherished … protected by your constitution
semen….you should get yourself checked out…..you could get syphilis or worse from your dirty goat rectums……then spread it to your sheep the next day….
” … spread it to your sheep …” PRICELESS!
Why are most homosexual pornographic “actors” indosneezian moslem males?
Hi, semenjerkoff. Why are the VAST majority of homosexual pornography “actors” Indonesian moslems? Is it because ALL moslem males are homosexuals? And, are ALL moslem males homosexuals because mohammed LOVED to suck the penises of little boys?
Islam is not a religion. It is a world wide by a mass murdering madman invented criminal killer cult. If they have to be blessed then children of some other criminal cults like the Mafia the Yakusa, the Triads and so on, who by the way are far less dangerous than evil Islam, would have the rights to invent some bloody holidays and to be blessed as well.
no wonder why islam is the fastest shrinking religion in the west and east …
YES … izslum LOSES ten to every “convert” that it makes. It IS the fastest shrinking religion in the world. Most people don’t want to be homosexuals, which ALL male moslems are.
I’d like to bless them all…..with LEAD.
thanks for being honest about your violent nature ..
your very welcome, semen jerkoff monkeyanus…..happy ramalamadingdong to you and your harem of many goats and sheep…..after all, you are very honest about your “piece-ful religion” and also your love and desire to copulate with livestock.
thanks for instigating violence toward muslims …
please DO NOT delete these kind of comments .. !!!
at the height of New Zealand mosque mass shooting … these kind of posting is what you need to get into deep troubles ….
It’s funny how you mention the New Zealand mosque shooting but have nothing to say about the SEVENTY THOUSAND Nigerian Christians slaughtered by your fellow muslum vermin in Nigeria this century or the hundreds of Sri Lankan Christians slaughtered just a week ago or the hundreds of thousands of kafir your fellow, f’ing muslum swine in Indonesia slaughtered in the 1970’s.
given the thousands of judeo-christian hatred & violence comments you have made … it’s no surprise when you try to legitimate New Zealand killing …
With the thousands of “comments” hating Christians and Jews and exhorting violence against them … it’s no surprise that you legitimize the brutal murders, of Christians, perpetrated by moslems (the vilest of ALL creatures) in Sri Lanka …
What about violence committed by mozzlems against the civilized world, semen ?? There is not enough room here to quote specific examples, as your murderous brethren has slaughtered innocents by the millions for over 1400 years, yet you can only quote ONE example of violence against mozzlems. And you alone commit violent acts to goats’ anuses on a daily basis. Does that make goats pisslam-o-faux-bic too ???
thanks for being honest about your violent nature ..
Then you are teaching people to bless, rape, misoginy, polygamy, paedophilia, slave trading animal abuse and torture and war. What a great moral institution the left have created but given time their flaws will be tragically uncovered and once again the centre and centre right will have to come in and clear up the mess.
I hate islam..such hatred that comes from them should not be forgotten. They are responsible for the most terrorist attacks worldwide! Lets nit forget the 3000+ lives lost on 9/11!! Oh how quickly some forget!????

B N I is right. These barbarians are no longer in stealth mode….they are openly promoting their vicious ideology and the STUPID SJWs are falling for it. God Help Us All.
only true human being can perform ramadan fasting …
I hope the PRC invades your a$$-backwards muslum sh!ttstan and pushes you f’ing vermin right into the Pacific Ocean. Long live Myanmar beotch.
thanks again for consistently expressing your judeo-christian hatred & insult
thanks again for consistently expressing your moslem (the vilest of ALL creatures) hatred and insult
moslems are NOT human beings. A moslem is the descendant of the cross-breeding of monkeys with pigs. That is why a moslem is incapable of an actual fast. A minimum fast is THREE DAYS without food … not some little homosexual boy just going from sun up to sun down … forkin’ pussy moslem homosexuals.
There is no separation whatsoever between church and state in Islam. The next move will be sharia and Islamic approved textbooks and instruction.
It starts small and seemingly inconsequential, but little by little more Islamic prayers and traditions will be introduced to the US schools, until one day the school districts wake up to the fact they’ve been taken over by Islam. It’s called stealth jihad and it IS a thing. This is written about by Muslims in their strategy manuals. Wake up America if you want to save your freedoms. Freedom of speech is already being eroded. Now freedom of religion is on the table. Good grief, do something!
precisely. I assume that amongst others, you admire Pamela. and Robert Spencer. and donate to the DHFC. hopefully
This is a lot of BS! Since when do we bowdown to extremust religious groups!? I blame the school amd paremts for not standing against CAIR’ s pro muslim intrusion into western culture and disrupting the rights of non muslim students. DO NOT GIVE IN AND LET THEM TAKE HOLD!!
I also agree that our educational system is full of uber liberal crackpots who’s only goal is to denounce Christianity and cater to the extreme special interest groups of those who push anti Christian/Semitism rhetoric!
Parents you have rights..protest or remove your kids from this school until this abuse of law has been repudiated!
Today many educated Muslims want to leave Islam but are afraid that they will be killed by their fellow religionists. Hence the Muslims must be first shown a safe path so that they renounce Islam but does not arouse suspicion among their fellow Muslims. See http://sanatanaparishad.blogspot.in/
My tendency would be to “ram-a-ham” up their arses as they demand special privileges!
Either fit in to America or go back to your muslim cultured country
separation of church and state only applies to all other religions, mooslimes get special treatment, BS!
special treatment for the religion of peace who have caused thousands of deaths world wide and here in the US in the name of that religion, no way. REMEMBER 911, Boston, San Bernadino, NY, Ft Hood and all those the government has covered up.
1. A school district in Seattle
2. the Seattle-area school district
Just FYI if you live here and were wondering, this district is on the extreme south end boundary of King County…..but it might as well be downtown apparently given the liberal derangement

There are laws requiring separation of church and state –
“Month Long Holiday” says it all.
