[ April 19, 2024 ]
A federal judge just ruled that the San Diego Unified School District has to hand over evidence that allegedly shows Muslim students were given special protections, and that school officials knowingly colluded with a hate-filled Islamic group.
The evidence is part and parcel of a suit brought by five families who are challenging the district’s so-called “anti-Islamophobia initiative.”
This isn’t the first time the initiative’s ticked off parents:

The plaintiffs filed a court challenge weeks ago, asking for over 200 pages of evidence from the school and asking that the court put a stop to the initiative.
The Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund has more:
Today, a federal judge ruled that the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) must hand over critical evidence to five families as part of their legal challenge to the district’s “anti-Islamophobia initiative.” The program, which was enacted last April, singles out Muslim students for special protections and empowers a controversial Islamic advocacy organization, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), to vet and revise school curriculum. The Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund (FCDF) is representing the plaintiffs, which also include two local organizations, Citizens for Quality Education San Diego and the San Diego Asian Americans for Equality Foundation, in a federal civil rights lawsuit.
On February 20, the plaintiffs filed a motion for a preliminary injunction with over 200 pages of supporting evidence, asking the Court to stop SDUSD’s superintendent and school board from further implementing the initiative. The school board claimed to have rescinded the program at a public board meeting in July 2017, but extensive evidence uncovered over the past several months show that the alleged cancellation of the policy was a “sham.” To prepare for the tentative hearing on the preliminary injunction, the plaintiffs now seek communications and other records that took place after the July 2017 board meeting.
Federal procedural court rules typically prohibit early “discovery” until the parties’ attorneys meet to set up a corresponding timeline. However, a court can grant a request for expedited discovery if there is a showing of “good cause.” In this case, the Court found that access to additional SDUSD records is “in the interest of the administration justice” to “more fully develop the factual record on the Plaintiffs’ preliminary injunction motion.” According to the Court’s 14-page opinion:
Whether or not Defendants’ rescission was a “sham,” facts pertaining to the District’s conduct after the public rescission of the Policy may be relevant to the question of whether Plaintiffs face ongoing irreparable harm from a policy that allegedly violates the First Amendment of the Federal Constitution. Plaintiffs’ assertion of irreparable harm in their preliminary injunction motion stems from the existence and implementation of an allegedly unconstitutional policy.
As part of its ruling, the Court narrowed down several proposed records requests, finding that they were “overly broad.” This included narrowing names and documents to those referenced in the preliminary injunction motion and tailoring the requests to focus exclusively on the anti-Islamophobia initiative’s policies and subsequent iterations, not to the case at large.
SDUSD must produce the records by April 9, 2018, which is the deadline for the district to file an opposition to the plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction. A hearing date on the motion is scheduled for April 23, 2018.

Did you notice who is missing in the suit?
The suit is filed by ‘The Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund’, along with two local organizations,‘Citizens for Quality Education San Diego’ and the ‘San Diego Asian Americans for Equality Foundation’
In a suit which is co-filed by Asians (mostly of East Asian ancestry), who are a minority in the area, where the hell are the CHRISTIANS ??
How come there is no Christian group in the list of co-filer of the important suit?
Are there any Christian church in the San Diego area?
If there are, where the hell are they ??
Have the Christian churches / Christian groups in Greater San Diego District turned into eunuchs ??

If they had used “christian” anywhere they would have been accused of as “crusaders” . “bigots” etc. Its better to play the game the secular way. It gives the left/lkiberal/jihadis…… less ammo to fire at you.

It’s a sad thing to say but the ” Christians ” ( of whom I am one ), and the ” church ” have foolishly been lead into believing the whole ” refugee ” bs. They exercised no critical thought on the issue and therefore saw no, much less suspected any nefarious motives or schemes. They yielded to only those scriptures calling for compassion and ignored those calling for discernment. They believed what they wanted to believe and not what common sense was telling them through easily observable events. Like children, they didn’t think about the bigger picture and reacted with emotion as though evil had no hand in this. Anyone who reads scripture has to know that end time events and prophecy are unfolding quickly before us, and this ” migration ” is part of it. UN Agenda 21, lays out a plan to eliminate nationalism/patriotism because it stands in the way of their NWO and the useful tool of mass immigration is just the ticket to do it.

Christianity has not only been banned from our schools, but erased from every subject.
What you mean is that the Political Right has had some success pushing back over the last 20+ years. The push back has permitted unlawful discrimination against Christians to go through the long, expensive and arduous process of seeking legal redress for a single grievance – and – occasionally win.
Most students, teachers, and staff have no effective means of recourse against the compelled practice of the Left’s Atheist Religion – aka Secular Humanism – which I call Secular Animism.
When lies and distortions are taught as ‘fact’ by the Atheist Religious Fanatics to unsuspecting children, correcting the record is not ‘compelling’ anything. It is resisting lies and distortions.
The fact Islamists can take advantage of the system to shoehorn a bit of their lies and distortions into the ‘education’ camps only exposes the sham for what it is: Nonsense.

DEMS are lawless. Rulings and laws don’t matter.
They continue to do what they want to do.
Look at Obama – DACA, DAPA a warrant to a FISA court based on a dossier that is laughable to spy on Trump. BTW with the the FISA court judges are ALL OBAMA APPOINTED judges through Chief Justice John Roberts. Roberts was the deciding vote on UNCONSTITUTIONAL OBAMACARE!.
ALL of the FISA court judges are DEMOCRATS!
Take a look:
http://www.fisc.uscourts.gov/current-membership
The rumor is John Robert’s Irish adoption of his two kids was not kosher and this was used against him to get him to cave to Obamacare and stacking the FISA court Obama’s way.

From the link http://www.fisc.uscourts.gov/current-membership
Sorry about the formatting… ALL are appointed while OBAMA was President with the exception of ONE judge. Also remember JOHN ROBERTS was the deciding judge on Obamacare that was NEVER Constitutional. They have something on John Roberts too.
Chief Supreme Court Justice, John Roberts, who gave the deciding UNCONSTITUTIONAL vote on letting Obamacare happen APPOINTS these judges. The deck is stacked AGAINST Trump! Obama was in office from January 20, 2009, when Barack Obama was inaugurated as 44th President of the United States, and ended on January 20, 2017. Judge Roberts stacked the court for Obama!

No influence from any religion or cult especially islam in public schools. By what qualification does cair present to vet and approve school rules and procedures? Where are the useless as tits on a boar atheists? They have considerable experience in eliminating Christianity and every other religion from schools, what are they so cowardly about islam? Atheists are bigoted racists.
