A school district just outside of Washington, D.C., where one of the four jets hijacked and crashed by radical Muslims in pursuit of their Islamic ideologies on 9/11 crashed into the Pentagon, has told teachers not to “associate the 9/11 attacks with Islam or Muslims.”

“You mean, like, the MUSLIM TERRORISTS ACTING EXPLICITLY IN OBEDIENCE TO ISLAMIC THEOLOGY ABOUT WAGING WAR ON UNBELIEVERS, AS DEMONSTRATED ACROSS 1,400 YEARS OF WORLD HISTORY??” suggested a commentary at Not the Bee.

Further, the instructions from Fairfax County’s schools, in a six-page document obtained by Fox News, tells faculty to create “safe spaces” for Muslim students.

That report said, “The guide also says that if educators hear students or colleagues using ‘Islamophobic rhetoric,’ ‘it is up to you to disrupt.’ Under a list of ‘Do’ and ‘Don’t’ instructions, FCPS explicitly tells teachers don’t ‘associate the 9/11 attacks with Islam or Muslims’ and don’t ‘center the extremists or the acts of the extremists.'”

Fox reports about half of the teaching guide is about those “safe spaces” and it mentions families “just three times” and first responders “once.”

There are 30 references to “Islam, ‘anti-Muslim racism,’ and ‘Islamophobic rhetoric.'”

Retired Vice Admiral Lou Crenshaw, who was inside the Pentagon when al-Qaida terrorists flew a plane into the building, ripped the guide for failing to convey “the evilness of what actually happened,” and described the instructions as a sanitized version, the report said.

The report said critics are accusing the Virginia school district of “coddling post-9/11 sensitivities rather than teaching history.”

Fox reported, “On Thursday, New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch called for ‘moral clarity’ about what happened on 9/11, saying in a speech, “The men who attacked this city were terrorists. The men and women who ran into the towers to save innocent lives were heroes. Twenty-five years cannot be allowed to blur that distinction, and shame on those who do.”

The school said, in a statement, “On the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, we remember the nearly 3,000 people who were killed, including 184 at the Pentagon. We remember the victims, their families, the survivors, and everyone whose lives were forever changed. We honor the first responders whose courage and sacrifice continue to inspire us. FCPS remains committed to creating an inclusive environment in our schools where all students feel welcome and respected as we strive to provide a world-class education and workplace.”

Crenshaw explained, “What we saw in 9/11 was a religious extremist group, al Qaida, who did not tolerate what the United States was doing around the world and decided to react violently.”
