A middle school in Indiana has come under fire for a worksheet teaching students about Sharia law that whitewashes the many human rights violations inherent in the body of Islamic law reported the Courier-Journal.
The report was not widely reported but the Clarion Project reported that such whitewashing of Islamic Sharia law has parents angry.
The Clarion Project continued:
“The way that the worksheet is left would be like describing how effective Hitler was at nationalizing Germany and creating patriotism but leaving out that he slaughtered 6 million Jews,” said Dean Hohl, one of several parents who voiced his opinion at a recent school-board meeting.
The worksheet is part of the curriculum for seventh-graders at Highland Hills Middle School. On one part of the sheet is an account written by a fictional character, a 20-year-old Saudi woman named Ahlima, who writes that she feels “very fortunate” to live under sharia law in Saudi Arabia. She describes how she will soon become the second wife to a Saudi man.
As for the clothing a woman is her required to wear in Saudi Arabia, Ahlima says “Perhaps two differences Westerners would notice are that women here do not drive cars and they wear abuyah. An abuyah is a loose-fitting black cloth that covers a woman from head to toe. I like wearing the abuyah since it is very comfortable, and I am protected from blowing sand.”
As for her “rights“ under sharia law, she says, “Women in the West do not have the protection of the Sharia as we do here. If our marriage has problems, my husband can take another wife rather than divorce me, and I would still be cared for…I feel very fortunate that we have the Sharia.”
The creator of the worksheet and president of InspirEd Eucators, Sharon Coletti, said she was trying to educate the children in a more engaging way. Coletti, who is a Christian, came under fire for a similar worksheet used in Smyrna, Georgia. She subsequently agreed to remove the material due to the negative media attention she received.
