An affluent Virginia school district located just miles from where Islamic terrorists crashed a plane into the Pentagon issued guidance for its teachers to not “associate” the devastating 9/11 attacks “with Islam or Muslims.”Virginia is clearly one of the worst places to get an education today, much like New York. 911 Families should comment on serious concerns like this.
Guidance from Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia told its teachers to be prepared to combat “anti-Muslim bias” in the classroom and to not connect the attacks with any religious motivation. The guidance, obtained by FOX News, was issued ahead of the 25th anniversary of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.
Fairfax County is located outside Washington, D.C., and just miles away from where the 9/11 terrorists crashed a plane into the Pentagon, killing over 180 people. [...]
Evidence shows that the 19 terrorists behind the attacks were motivated by their adherence to Islam. Writings found from one of the hijackers show him praying for “guidance” and “help” and demonstrate that he believed he would be “entering paradise” after dying in the attacks. Another document found from the hijackers discussed the history of Islam and Muhammad waging war against non-Muslims. [...]
Reacting to the guidance, Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) said it should be “ripped up.”
“On the 25th anniversary, Democrats are trying to downplay the EVIL of 9/11. ISLAMIC TERRORISTS MURDERED 2,977 AMERICANS,” he posted on X. “That shouldn’t be controversial. It’s a damn fact. This ‘guide’ should be ripped up and thrown in the garbage, along with every other socialist rewrite of history.”
While Virginia officials cater to Islamic sensibilities, Texas recently moved to approve new curriculum standards that teach about the religious motivations behind 9/11 and the violent history surrounding Islam’s rise. The teaching would include the “Prophet Mohammed’s brutal military campaigns against Jewish and Christian tribes, the normalization of slavery, and the taking of female captives as harem slaves.”
Update: here's more from a survivor of 911, who warns of the lessons now being forgotten:
A quarter-century later, it’s still a political flashpoint. “You’re dealing with radical Islam,” John says, citing the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ recent direction for schools not to “talk about 9/11 as a terrorist attack.” John describes a reporter who asked him, “If you were to face a group of kids, would you tell them it was a terrorist attack?” He’s shocked this is even up for debate. “It’s crazy that we were talking about something like that.”Correct. That CAIR played a part in the school scandal is also disturbing.
