When a Marine Corps veteran saw the lessons his daughter was receiving in class, he decided to confront the school. According to the dad, educators were pushing Islamic beliefs on his child, and he wanted to put a stop to it. The school retaliated in a big way.

John “Kevin” Wood, who served eight years in the Marine Corps, and his wife Melissa were not happy when they saw the assignments that were being circulated in their daughter’s World History class at La Plata High School in La Plata, Maryland. According to the parents, the controversial lessons being provided by the public school system amounted to Islamic propaganda, and they decided to complain, Washington Free Beacon reported.

The Woods alleged that their daughter Caleigh and her classmates were instructed to write out the “Shahada,” an Islamic creed that says, “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.” Caleigh refused to complete the assignment, believing it is a sin to profess that there is any other god except the Christian God. In addition, the creed is also recited by non-Muslims wishing to convert to Islam, something the Christian girl didn’t want to do…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Students were also required to memorize and recite the Five Pillars of Islam and were subjected to what the Woods felt was disparaging teachings about Christians. “Most Muslims’ faith is stronger than the average Christian,” one lesson stated. In addition, two weeks were devoted to teaching students about Islam, but only one class was spent on Christianity, a faith that’s 600 years older with more history to learn.

Using a Powerpoint presentation in the class, the students at the school were also taught:

  • Islam is a peaceful religion
  • Jihad is a “personal struggle in devotion to Islam, especially involving spiritual discipline.”
  • “To Muslims, Allah is the same God that is worshiped in Christianity and Judaism.”
  • “Men are the managers of the affairs of women” and “Righteous women are therefore obedient.” (Source: CBN News)

Feeling the teacher was prioritizing Islam over other religions, Kevin Wood contacted the school and demanded alternative assignments for his daughter. According to a civil rights lawsuit that would later be filed, the school refused to allow Caleigh to opt-out of the assignments. She was allegedly threatened with failing grades if the work was not completed, but she elected not to do it anyway. However, the issue did not end there.

Mr. Wood said the principal banned him from entering school grounds for more than a year following his complaints, “illegally punishing him for raising objections to classroom lessons about Islam,” the Washington Post reported. After having a no-trespass order issued against him for over a year, Wood went to court for help, asking a judge to remove the ban so he could watch his daughter graduate.

The order, which his lawyers posted online, said Kevin Wood “made verbal threats against the school,” but he denies ever threatening physical harm against anyone. What he did threaten, he said, was to take his concerns public by going to the media and to lawyers. And, he made good on that promise. A lawsuit was filed in federal court by Thomas More Law Center on behalf of the Woods against the Charles County Public Schools, the Board of Education, and the principal and vice-principal of the school.

The complaint alleged that the Islamic lessons violated Caleigh’s civil and constitutional rights. It accused the school of promoting Islam over other religions and discriminating against Caleigh “by removing her from the academic environment of her World History class, relegating her to the student library, and issuing her failing grades on assignments because [she] refused to deny and insult her Christian beliefs.”

“Parents must be ever vigilant to the Islamic indoctrination of their children under the guise of teaching history and multiculturalism. This is happening in public schools across the country. And they must take action to stop it,” TMLC President Richard Thompson warned. “I’m not aware of any school which has forced a Muslim student to write the Lord’s Prayer or John 3:16: ‘For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.’”

The lawsuit sought a declaration from the defendants, admitting that they violated the plaintiffs’ constitutional rights, in addition to a temporary and permanent injunction barring them from promoting Islam over other religions and from banning Kevin Wood from school grounds. Unfortunately for Caleigh and her parents, both the Federal District Court and the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the high school’s Islamic curriculum.

TMLC appealed the case to the US Supreme Court, but the appeal was denied. “The U.S. Supreme Court rejected what could have been a contentious high court showdown on the role of religion in public life,” Bloomberg Law reported.

According to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, the lessons didn’t violate Wood’s First Amendment rights and didn’t “impermissibly endorse any religion and did not compel Wood to profess any belief.” With the rejection of Wood’s appeal, that decision stands — a decision many disagree with. The only question is, do you think they got it right?

On the farm owned by Igor, there was always an atmosphere of love and care for animals, which was felt even from a distance. Here, among green meadows and cozy paddocks, his parents were engaged in breeding cattle and horses, and from early childhood, Igor spent a lot of time caring for horses. These graceful creatures reciprocated his feelings, and real friendships began between them.

At 48 years old, Igor was faced with a difficult and unexpected situation when he learned of a sick foal named Snowball, who was about to be euthanized due to his serious condition and lack of hope for recovery. Despite urgent warnings that this decision was the only correct one, Igor, full of compassion, decided to buy Snowball, hoping to restore his joy in life and give him a chance for recovery…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Returning to his farm, Igor immediately began caring for the foal, who needed his attention and love. He called a veterinarian, who, unfortunately, confirmed the sad diagnosis: Snowball’s chances of survival were extremely small, and many were already beginning to lose hope.

However, Igor, despite the gloomy forecasts, was determined to help his new friend. He looked after Snowball every day, devoting all his time and energy to him, caring for his health and well-being. Igor monitored his nutrition, provided comfortable conditions for recovery, and even spent hours next to him, giving him his support. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

To the surprise of everyone, the foal, showing incredible resilience and fortitude, survived and became a strong and energetic horse that delighted everyone with its presence and energy. Over time, Igor fell ill and was unable to continue caring for the animals, but Snowball, despite his owner’s illness, continued to take care of him, remaining close by.

One day, Igor died of a heart attack, and his family began preparations for the funeral. However, Snowball could not come to terms with the loss of his friend. He threw off the coffin lid and sniffed Igor’s body, showing concern. To the surprise of everyone, Igor woke up and exclaimed that he was almost buried alive. A doctor present at the funeral explained that Igor had experienced catalepsy, a condition in which a person temporarily loses consciousness but remains alive. Snowball became a real savior, who brought his owner back to life and prevented him from leaving for another world.

The guy came to his senses only a few hours later. Opening his eyes, he saw around him people in white coats and unfamiliar faces. He tried to remember who he was and where he came from, but his head was empty. The only thing he remembered was the kindness of the old woman who found him and brought him to the village.

Meanwhile, the police began an investigation. They tried to find out what happened to the young man, where he came from, and how he ended up in the field.

With the help of Maria and the locals, he gradually adapted to life in the village, and soon became part of their community. The people around him became his new family, and the old lady became his guardian angel.

The police continued to investigate, and one day, after receiving information about the missing man, they were able to identify him. It turned out that the guy was from a neighboring city and had run away from home, unable to cope with the problems that haunted him. Now, he had the opportunity to start over, and he decided to take this chance.

With the help of the old woman’s kindness and the support of new friends, he was able not only to rebuild his life but also to find his place in the world. In the village, he found not only a home but also the meaning that he had once dreamed of.
