Parents Sue California School For Taking Students on ‘Field Trip’ to Mosque – Girls Told to Wear Hijabs, Given Qurans

 The very definition of Creeping Sharia – and it’s unconstitutional.

Parents are suing Palo Alto High School in California after the students were taken on a ‘field trip’ to a Mosque last fall and given Qurans as a part of the school’s “Social Justice Pathway” program.

The female students were told to wear an Islamic head covering (hijab). 

Parents of former Jewish students, a Hindu parent, and a Zoroastrian parent filed a lawsuit against Palo Alto High School, Palo Alto Unified School District, and the school’s principal, Brent Kline.

The lawsuit alleges that photos of the children were posted online without the parents’ consent.

The children were also exposed to Zahra Billoo, a radical Islamic activist and executive director of the Bay Area’s office of terror-linked CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations).

Zahra Billoo slammed the parents who filed the lawsuit in a statement to The San Francisco Chronicle and accused them of attempting to intimidate the school districts. 

“Public schools and the government have an obligation to remain neutral toward religion, but what neutrality does not mean is shielding students entirely,” Billoo said. “The job of educators is to teach students, and expose them to different worldviews. That’s what happened here.”

“One of the most important ways we combat hate is to learn about each other,” Billoo said. “I am concerned that this group of parents not only wants to counteract that for their own children… but is attempting to intimidate schools and school districts from doing necessary work of educating the next generation.”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis this summer announced his intent to designate CAIR as a terrorist organization.

The California Post reported:

Parents of Bay Area high school students taken on a field trip to a mosque are suing over the visit — alleging students were encouraged to wear hijabs and given Qurans.

A group representing two Jewish parents of Palo Alto High School students, three former Jewish students, a Hindu parent and a Zoroastrian parent is suing the school over claims the children were exposed to the idea that Islam was aligned with social justice work.

The group, Community Members for Religious Neutrality in Public Schools, says students in the school’s Social Justice Pathway program took a trip to the mosque last fall and were handed Qurans while female students were encouraged to wear hijabs, the Islamic face covering viewed by some as oppressive to women.

The lawsuit also alleges photos of the students were taken and posted online without parental consent.

Palo Alto Unified School District and Palo Alto High School principal Brent Kline were also named in the lawsuit.

Public schools across the country are busing American Christian and Jewish children to mosques.

A Texas public school recently came under fire for taking students to an Islamic center to “experience Islam firsthand” – Jihad included?

DNC Formally Adopts Resolution Calling For Abolishing ICE

 The Democratic National Committee adopted a resolution Saturday urging congressional Democrats to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), alongside a competing measure calling only for reforms to the agency, at the party’s summer meeting in Austin, Texas.

The abolition measure, known as Resolution 27, cleared the DNC’s Resolutions Committee on Thursday in a 25-12 vote with one abstention before heading to the full membership, Newsweek reported. Both resolutions were bundled into a larger package and approved by the full membership on a unanimous voice vote, according to the Washington Times. The vote is nonbinding and does not change the party platform for 2028.

The reform measure, sponsored by DNC Chairman Ken Martin, drew broader support in committee than the abolition proposal.

The vote comes amid internal party debates over immigration policy ahead of this year’s midterm elections as President Donald Trump expands deportation efforts. In July, border czar Tom Homan said ICE was on schedule to set arrest records for a second consecutive month and described the push as “deportation-maxxing.”

The resolution calls on Democratic members of Congress to enact legislation dissolving ICE and winding down the immigration detention system. It seeks to restrict Department of Homeland Security funding unless certain enforcement activities end, including workplace raids, mass roundups, arrests at courthouses, arrests at ICE check-ins, and actions near schools and houses of worship. It also calls for terminating contracts with private detention providers.

Martin said official party platforms are set every four years at the national convention, and argued Democrats are still united in opposing the administration’s enforcement approach even as they split over what should replace it.

“Our official party positions are determined at the convention every four years in our platform,” Martin said in a statement to Newsweek. “However, clearly, the one thing that unites Democrats, regardless of their position on reform versus abolish or whatever other ways to change what’s happening, is people believe that what ICE is doing right now and CBP and the federal government should stop. There has to be a better way.”

The White House criticized the action. Spokeswoman Lauren Bis told Newsweek on Saturday:

“Extreme radical Democrats want to abolish ICE and defund the police. Instead of trying to abolish ICE, Democrats should be thanking ICE law enforcement officers for putting their lives on the line to arrest and remove murderers, rapists, pedophiles, and gang members from American communities. Many of these criminals were released from jails by Democrat radical politicians. President Trump’s efforts to remove criminal illegal aliens from American communities is already delivering results including the lowest murder rate in 125 years.”

The resolution also calls for closing detention facilities, releasing most immigration detainees, and expanding civil rights oversight.

Michele Johnson, a DNC member from Louisiana who proposed the abolition measure, said Democrats need to take a clear position, pointing to the dissolution of ICE’s predecessor agency, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, as precedent, according to the Associated Press.

“I think one of the reasons why people are not trusting the party is because we sound so academic,” she said. “We sound focus group tested, we sound poll tested because we’re worried about saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing and not just like, just stand on business, like take a position.”

DNC member Yvonne Reeves-Chong voted against it, saying it would win over only part of the party’s base while drawing fire from another group of voters, according to the AP.

“I would strongly suggest we get to the business of winning races so we can make the policies that make a difference,” she said.

Earlier this year, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer stopped short of calling for ICE’s elimination while demanding reforms such as banning face coverings for agents, requiring visible identification, and restricting enforcement near schools and churches.

Polling suggests voters are focused elsewhere. Marquette Law School’s most recent national survey, released August 5, found inflation and the cost of living ranked as the top issue for 35% of adults, with immigration and border security at 5% — down from 14% in January.

The same poll found Trump’s overall approval had risen to 40%, his first uptick in a Marquette survey this term, and border security was the only issue on which he cleared 50% approval.

ICE itself remains unpopular. A Marquette survey conducted in late January found 40% of adults approved of the agency’s job performance and 60% disapproved. But the same poll found 56% still favored deporting illegal immigrants, and among that group, 65% approved of ICE’s conduct.

Sarah Pierce, director of social policy at the center-left group Third Way, has argued that immigration should not be Democrats’ first message to voters because it is not their top concern — but that ignoring the issue is also a mistake. Democrats “cannot allow Republicans to be the only party offering a vision” on immigration, she told Newsweek.

El-Sayed To Headline Convention With Cleric Who Loves Child Marriage

 Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed will spend Labor Day weekend speaking at a Muslim conference alongside an antisemitic cleric who said he forced his 13-year-old niece into marriage.

El-Sayed, the Democratic U.S. Senate nominee in Michigan, is slated to speak at the Islamic Society of North America’s annual convention, held in Detroit from September 4-7, The Washington Free Beacon reported. ISNA was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007 federal prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation, and a judge ruled in 2009 that the government had presented “ample evidence” tying the group to Hamas.

Also on the convention roster is Tariq Masood, a Pakistani cleric who has urged followers to marry off their young female relatives, citing his own niece’s marriage at 13.

Masood is scheduled to moderate a panel on “avoiding mental illness in youth” aimed at addressing how parents “can prevent or minimize the impact of any trauma leading to a mental illness.” He will moderate that session alongside ISNA president Syed Imtiaz Ahmad, who is separately listed on El-Sayed’s own panel, according to the convention itinerary.

Masood has also preached against Jews. In a 2024 sermon titled “The Final Humiliation of the Jews,” he said Jews’ “cunning minds” had worked to bring the world under their control, according to translations reviewed by the Free Beacon. “The Quran condemns Jews,” he said, adding that “not all Jews are the same” before claiming no other community in the world matched Jews for “evil and turmoil.”

The El-Sayed campaign told The Daily Wire on Saturday that the Democrat “does not endorse” anyone speaking at the conference.

“Abdul is not affiliated with and does not endorse any other participant of the conference,” a spokeswoman for the campaign said. “He is scheduled to participate in a different panel at the ISNA conference to speak on unity and commitment to justice in public service.”

El-Sayed is scheduled to speak on a panel titled “Cultivating God Awareness in a Turmoiled America.” Ahmad is listed on that panel as well, alongside Cenk Uygur, The Young Turks founder and uncle of America-hating streamer Hasan Piker.

El-Sayed’s panel discussion is advertised as a way to push Muslim Americans and their faith into the public square.

“In this storm, remaining principled, morally clear, and emotionally steady is essential for Muslim Americans,” the ISNA wrote. “ISNA meets the moment by framing taqwa (God-Awareness) not only as personal piety but as a public strategy for success. It urges the Muslim community to mobilize taqwa to uphold unity, ethical integrity, and an uncompromised commitment to justice. This session turns taqwa into actionable guidance, equipping participants not merely to survive but to thrive in workplaces, schools, digital spaces, and community life — and to succeed on their own terms.”

 

El-Sayed’s ties to ISNA are also familial and financial. His father-in-law, Tayeb Jukaku, has sat on the group’s founders committee since at least 2007 and also serves on the board of CAIR’s Michigan chapter, according to the Free Beacon. Jukaku has given $300,000 to a super PAC backing El-Sayed’s Senate bid.

Another scheduled speaker is Siraj Wahhaj, a Brooklyn imam who testified as a character witness for Omar Abdel-Rahman, the “blind sheikh” convicted in 1995 of plotting a wave of New York terror attacks. Prosecutors listed Wahhaj among roughly 170 people who might be named as co-conspirators in that case, though he was never charged and the lead prosecutor has said inclusion on the list did not mean the government alleged he was a conspirator.

The leftist Democratic Senate nominee narrowly won his party’s primary earlier this month pushing a far-Left agenda that includes Medicare for all and abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In the recent past, he has also called to defund the police and restructure the U.S. Supreme Court, both issues that are pushed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). While El-Sayed has said that he doesn’t identify as a socialist, the Democrat rode a wave of DSA support in his primary election.

El-Sayed campaigned alongside Hasan Piker ahead of the primary and has resisted calls to cut ties with him, dismissing Piker’s claim that “America deserved 9/11” as a “dumb statement.” Asked on Meet the Press whether he would campaign with the communist streamer again, El-Sayed said he was “a lot more focused on who I’m campaigning to.”

DFW Airport Scraps Islamic Foot-Washing Stations After Governor Threatens Its Funding

 Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport has scrapped a proposal to add Islamic foot-washing stations to two Terminal D restrooms, backing off Friday night after Texas Governor Greg Abbott called the plan illegal and opened a review of every state grant flowing to the airport.

“These ablution facilities appear designed to single out one subset of the population for special treatment based on religion. That is illegal,” Abbott wrote in a letter to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. “Both airports are government-owned facilities. The federal and state constitutions prohibit governments from facilitating this sort of discrimination. Just as the government cannot favor the secular over the sacred, it also cannot favor one religious view over all others.”

In a separate letter to DFW CEO Christopher McLaughlin, Abbott warned that organizations found to have developed or operated what he called exclusionary religious spaces could lose state grant funding and face further enforcement.

Abbott referred both DFW and Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) to the U.S. Department of Transportation for investigation and enforcement, asking the department and the Federal Aviation Administration to review religious facilities and accommodations at each. He also directed a review of all state grants to the entities operating the two airports for possible revocation and denial of future funding. Abbott’s office said IAH already operates an ablution facility with an adjoining prayer room.

“Texas will not allow illegal religious discrimination at taxpayer-funded facilities,” Abbott wrote on X.

DFW told Fox News Digital on Friday that it had been weighing an internal proposal to add ablution stations on the pre-security side of Terminal D, its international terminal, and that it weighs operational benefits, customer service impacts, operational risks and costs before approving any project.

“While that evaluation was planned, the airport accelerated its review due to elevated public interest this week and has determined not to proceed with the project as it would not deliver the originally anticipated operational benefits,” the airport said.

The airport did not spell out what those benefits were. Defenders of the proposal, including conservative activist Ryan Fournier, had argued the low-level basins were a maintenance measure — travelers performing wudu in standard countertop sinks soak restroom floors and damage counters. Wudu is the ritual washing Muslims perform before prayer, covering the hands, face, arms, head and feet.

DFW has offered an ablution station on the post-security side of Terminal D for years. Two were added to the terminal’s Interfaith Chapel during upgrades completed in 2019, alongside shoe storage, kneelers and expanded shelving for holy texts. Similar basins exist at other large U.S. hubs, including Chicago O’Hare.

The project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation on July 31. The filing listed it as privately funded, put the cost at $300,000 and said construction would be finished by year’s end.

DFW said those details reflected administrative errors by its outside design firm and stressed that the project had never received final approval. A spokesperson said the $300,000 was a preliminary high estimate and that the actual cost, had the project gone forward, would have run closer to $120,000. The Dallas Express reported Friday that the filing had since been revised to $115,000 and reclassified.

“That was an error and it should have indicated that airport funds would be used to pay for the work like all our projects,” the airport said, adding that it does not use taxpayer dollars for operations and instead relies on revenue from parking and concessions.

Perfect: Nazi-Tattooed Democrat and Woman Abuser Graham Platner to Headline Labor Day Rally in Maine

 

Graham Platner said he got the tattoo in 2007 as a young Marine on a night out drinking and didn’t realize what it signified. But a former acquaintance told Jewish Insider that, more than a decade ago, he referred to the tattoo as “my Totenkopf,” the Nazi term for the image.

They just won’t give up on you, Graham Platner!

Democrats want to hear more from their Nazi-loving, woman beating, former US Senate candidate Graham Platner.

Platner will headline the upcoming Labor Day rally in Ellsworth Maine next month. 

Hancock County Maine Democrats say the event will happen at noon on Sept. 7 at Ellsworth City Hall.

According to NBC Boston, Platner is expected to speak at the rally about the history of unions and the important role organized labor has played in our communities and our country.

This will be followed up by musical performances.

Two women who accused Platner of physical and sexual assault are calling on Ellsworth community organizers to rescind their invitation to the popular Nazi-tattooed Democrat. 

WMTW reported:

Jenny Racicot, who has accused Platner of sexual assault, and Lyndsey Fifield, who has accused him of domestic abuse, issued a joint statement Thursday criticizing plans for Platner to speak at the “Labor Day Rally for Labor” at Ellsworth City Hall.

“While Graham’s behavior is disappointing, it’s hardly surprising,” Racicot and Fifield said. “What is surprising is that there are people who are still willing to give him a platform despite his refusal to take any accountability for his actions.”

The women urged Mainers to “stand with survivors and refuse to platform abusers.”

Platner has denied the allegations against him.

So, what is a Labor Day celebration without a popular Nazi-tattooed Democrat lecturing you on the history of the labor movement?
