San
Diego schools continue to give Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood and terrorist linked
CAIR preferential treatment.
Florida Family Association first sent out an email alert on this situation four weeks ago. It is important for the public to continue to communicate their concerns to the San Diego Unified School District until this issue is resolved. The Investigative Project On Terrorism reports: Court Brief: San Diego Schools Still Give CAIR Preferential Treatment
Officials in the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD)
continue to give the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)
unconstitutional preferential treatment in an anti-bullying program, the
Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund (FCDF) argued in court papers
filed earlier this week.
FCDF sued on behalf of several area parents and two interest
groups. It has asked the court for a
preliminary injunction forcing the school district to stop working with CAIR,
arguing that working with a religious organization violates the U.S.
Constitution's Establishment Clause.
CAIR played a central role in
formulating anti-Islamophobia curriculum
the school district passed in April 2017. School officials also contemplated
entering into a formal partnership with CAIR. But they changed their minds last
July, opting to partner instead with the Anti-Defamation League and to create
an Intercultural Relations Community Council (IRCC).
Those moves, school board lawyers argued in a recent brief,
render FCDF's legal claim moot. CAIR, in an amicus – or friend of the court –
brief, argued that the
curriculum it helped develop did not teach Islamic texts as religious truths,
and claimed it served the secular purpose of striving to deter bullying of
Muslim students.
School district officials concede that CAIR's
mission is religious in nature, but that an injunction would be the same as
"requiring that SDUSD discriminate against CAIR because it has a
religious mission." FCDF contends that CAIR views the free exercise
clause of the 1st Amendment as a sanction to advance its religious agenda with
governmental support, which it argues runs afoul of the Establishment Clause.
CAIR San Diego Executive Director Hanif Mohebi, however, denied that CAIR's
mission was primarily religious last year, after FCDF first filed its suit.
Records show the school district and CAIR continued to work
closely despite the July vote. Mohebi was appointed to the serve on
the IRCC.
In addition, school district officials hosted CAIR
representatives at least six times for high-level meetings. Superintendent
Cindy Marten sought CAIR's input from
CAIR about the ADL curriculum when it came to "addressing
Islamophobia," the brief said. The school district also gave CAIR special
recognition in November.
School officials say they work with CAIR as they
would with any other community organization, but FCDF Executive Director
Daniel Piedra says the district gave CAIR preferential treatment.
"They can't get around the fact that nothing really has
changed, and that the intercultural committee was created to keep Mohebi and
CAIR involved in the school district," Piedra said.
A public school violates the Establishment Clause of the United States Constitution when it gives preferential treatment to a religion. Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood and terrorist linked CAIR is pushing acceptance of Sharia doctrine on businesses, schools and government agencies across the country. Many of the oppressive tenets of Sharia law are antithetical to the rights afforded all Americans by the United States Constitution. More information regarding CAIR’s history and agenda are reported here. It is astounding that San Diego School board members are giving preferential treatment to CAIR especially given its history and agenda. Florida Family Association has prepared an email for you to send that urges San Diego Unified School District Board Members to take action to restore the faith of the people that the San Diego Unified School District is applying the law justly and truthfully.
