On March 27, 2012, Florida Family Assoc. addressed the Hillsborough County School Board regarding the Steinbrenner High School history teacher who invited officials from CAIR (Council for American Islamic Relations) to indoctrinate students on Islamist issues including Sharia law. 

I would like to remind the readers this teacher is the Florida Chairman/President of the Florida United Nations of America Assoc.  FFA reported they were amazed at the blatant hypocrisy demonstrated by the board during this meeting. 

First, the board was preparing to fire a twenty-three year veteran without warning for talking about politics with a fellow co-worker. 

Second, the school board prohibited anyone from mentioning any candidates for office while addressing the board from the podium.  FFA stated they understand policy that restricts politicking on our tax dollars.  However, it was idiotic for this board to prohibit school district employees and public meeting speakers from engaging in speech about American politics while allowing CAIR officials to indoctrinate students regarding the foreign law Sharia.

However, support for a policy needs to be voiced at this time since the board is going to be holding a workshop.  If there is a clearly defensible position for public policy it would have to be fulfilling their oath of office to defend state and federal constitutions.  Florida Family Association prepared a statement which you copy and send to encourage the Hillsborough County School Board to adopt policy which prohibits outside speakers from addressing students if they advocate politics that are antithetical to the constitution. . .

Organizations like CAIR (Council for American Islamic Relations) with leaders who defend Sharia law and promote Islamist politics should not have access to students. We no longer want officials from the Communist Party of the USA (CPUSA) explaining the Communist Manifesto to students than we want CAIR officials propagandizing Sharia law to students.  We understand that you are legally required to adopt policies that are constitutional.  You are also legally and ethically bound by your sworn oath of office to support, protect and defend the constitution.

Please adopt policy which prohibits outside speakers from addressing students if they advocate politics that are antithetical to the constitution.

To remind everyone, the Hillsborough School Board blindly ignored over 10,000 e-mails sent to each School Board officials and the District Superintendent asking them to address the issue of a teacher bringing in a CAIR member to indoctrinate the students without this information being given to the parents in advance.
