Charles County Public Schools, the district in which La Plata High School is located, released a statement to parents about the situation:
The particular unit in question at La Plata High School is on the formation of Middle Eastern empires in which students learned the basic concepts of the Islamic faith and how it, along with politics, culture, economics and geography, contributed to the development of the Middle East. Other religions are introduced when they influence or impact a particular historical era or geographic region. For example, when reviewing the Renaissance and Reformation, students study the concepts and role of Christianity. When learning about the development of China and India, students examine Hinduism and Buddhism.
There is also misinformation about why the school issued a No Trespass Order on a parent. This parent threatened to cause problems that would potentially disrupt La Plata High School this morning. To ensure the safety of students and staff at the school, the school administration placed a No Trespass Order on this parent.
My school made me believe in Santa Claus, is it consider a "hidden force" to convert Christian?
Thanks for the links, and I did check them out.Who knows what really is true or not...

And the article itself seems to read almost exactly like the Massachusetts one that snopes has an entry on...(I could be wrong- I'm getting tired).

I doubt it. I'm a Christian and I don't believe in Santa Claus. Santa Claus isn't a tenant of Christian faith.My school made me believe in Santa Claus, is it consider a "hidden force" to convert Christian?
Yeah, sometimes teachers go rogue with their curriculum.for the above posts, Reba, helped me learn a bit more about your thoughts on it. In this specific situation, if there was a difference between the official curriculum and how it was actually carried out by the individual teacher, that is concerning.
Good question. Often these cases get settled out of court and the parties are put under gag orders, so we don't always find out.wonder what will come of the story....
I still can't open it. What URL did you use?It opened for me - what concerns me is right away at the top it says ".....Ready to Defend America....." - against what? That's fear-mongering which leads to prejudice.
Then it also says later "....fighting against the internal threat of Islam...."
I'm worried this is thinly-veiled far-right hate against Islam.
The"threat of Islam" thing doesn't differentiate between fundamentalists or confirmed terrorism, and the actual general religion of Islam.
I was worried initially when I first read that it was something like this.
