lgf: "A Little Child Shall Lead Them" - Teaching Islam to public school students in Herndon

lgf: A Little Child Shall Lead Them

"During the next few weeks, multicultural trainer Afeefa Syeed will bring third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students from a Muslim academy in Herndon, Va., to nearby public schools to share the practices and beliefs of their holiest month, Ramadan."

"Zombie" had good advice:

Email these people a piece of your mind concerning the legality of their actions. While you're at it, and perhaps more to the point, go to the Web site for the school district where this is happening and email their administrators too:

Current School Board members are:

Chairman, Kathy L. Smith, Sully District, kathy.l.smith@fcps.edu

Vice-Chairman, Kaye Kory, Mason District, kaye.kory@fcps.edu

Braddock District, Tessie Wilson, tessie.wilson@fcps.edu

Dranesville District, Jane K. Strauss, Jane.strauss@fcps.edu

Hunter Mill District, Stuart D. Gibson, stuart.gibson@fcps.edu

Lee District, Brad Center, brad.center@fcps.edu

Mason District, Kaye Kory, kaye.kory@fcps.edu

Mt. Vernon District, Daniel G. Storck, daniel.storck@fcps.edu

Providence District, Phillip A. Niedzielski-Eichner, pneichner@fcps.edu

Springfield District, Catherine A. Belter, catherine.belter@fcps.edu

Sully District, Kathy L. Smith, kathy.l.smith@fcps.edu

I hope that many parents of children in Fairfax County Public Schools will demand that their children get excused from the effort to proselytize in the public schools.
