U.S. school urging teachers to bless Muslim students in Arabic

The Freedom of Conscience Legal Defense Fund is warning the Dieringer School District in Lake Tapps, Washington, about its implementation of guidelines issued by the terror-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations.

After CAIR wrote to the school suggesting various changes in policy and practice that would benefit Muslim students, district Supt. Judy Martinson implemented CAIR's suggestions as official district policy. She distributed the CAIR letter to school principals, who in turn circulated it to all teachers and staff, FCDF said.

"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 Daniel Piedra, FCDF's executive director. "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."
