GOPDD: New Jersey: Middle School District Teaches Islam, Koran… But Censors Christianity

Feb 21, 2017 by Harry Hibbs

A new Jersey middle school has no problem teaching Islam to its students, but has censored students for bringing up the Bible.
Two mothers spoke up about their children’s experiences in at a Chatham Board of Education meeting in February. One of them, Nancy Gayer, voiced displeasure that her son’s fourth grade PowerPoint presentation from years ago was shut down because it briefly cited a line from the Bible in advertising for his efforts to gather gloves and hats for poor children. Gayer said that the teacher told her son that it “belongs in Sunday school, not in the classroom” and proceeded to claim that the computer wouldn’t allow the presentation to be shown to the class.
