The assignment on world religions that was handed out to students at Riverheads High School in rural Virginia seemed pretty simple, on its face.

A teacher's printout explained why calligraphy was religiously significant to Muslims. The assignment asked students to re-create the complex strokes for the Shahada, the Islamic statement of faith, "to give you an idea of the artistic complexity of the calligraphy."

The Shahada was not translated, but in Arabic, it states, "There is no god but God, and Mohammed is his messenger."

It was religious indoctrination, parents charged. The angry calls and messages that flooded the district grew so intense last week that Augusta County school officials shut down the district Friday, keeping 10,500 students home "out of an abundance of caution."

The incident was just the latest in a series of disputes involving Islam and the classroom, which come as the nation experiences a rise in anti-Muslim attacks and vandalism and renewed fears of terrorism after the bloodshed in Paris and San Bernardino...

Really.

Who would be so stupid as to assign that project? Only an America-hating leftist.
