[FoxNews] The Council on American-Islamic Relations announced its partnership on Instagram
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) announced Monday that its Philadelphia chapter will partner with local schools to make them more "inclusive."
In an Instagram post, the Muslim advocacy group said it was working with Philadelphia schools this year to ensure that students feel "seen, safe and supported" by "building more inclusive schools" through an educator’s guide, training sessions and workshops.
Among the educational resources on CAIR's website is a guide titled "Remembering and Reflecting: Teaching September 11, 2001 in Diverse Classrooms."
The guide features tips on teaching lesson plans, such as avoiding certain terms like "jihadists" and discussing bigotry against Muslims.
"Avoid using language that validates the claims of the 9/11 attackers by associating their acts of mass murder with Islam and Muslims. For example, avoid using inaccurate and inflammatory terms such as ‘Islamic terrorists,’ ‘jihadists,’ or ‘radical Islamic terrorists,’" the guide states.
All of which are actually accurate, which tells everything we need to know of this particular branch of the Muslim Brotherhood in America, had we not already known they are unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation mess..
"When discussing the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks — the invasion of Afghanistan, the Iraq War, Guantánamo Bay, etc. — also include discussion of the bigotry and hate crimes that impacted Sikh Americans, Muslim Americans, Arab Americans and other minorities in the days, months and years after the attack."
The website at one point promoted a workshop, "American Jews and Political Power: Myth or Reality," which examined "the controversial topic of Jewish political power in the U.S." This section has been removed from the website.
Talking about bigotry and hate crimes…
After this article was published, a spokesperson for CAIR told Fox News Digital, "CAIR Philadelphia's former executive director Jacob Bender, a Jewish American peace activist who made history as the first Jewish leader of our Muslim American civil rights group, once taught a popular workshop about the differing political perspectives of Jewish Americans on Palestinian human rights."
"Jacob's workshop was never taught in schools, has not been available since he retired, and is obviously not part of our work with Pennsylvania or Philadelphia public schools," the statement added.
"We will also examine the heated debate inside the Jewish establishment over Israel’s occupation of Palestinian lands and learn about the young Jewish activists who are supporting the BDS (boycott, divestment, sanctions) campaign against Israel," the website previously stated.
Other seminars and workshops include "Out of the Blue: Police Conduct Seminar," "What is Sharia?" and "Fake News: Mass Media," which CAIR said was "designed to analyze and critique media representations and its coverage and typecasting of Muslims and people of color."
Fox News Digital has reached out to CAIR Philadelphia and the School District of Philadelphia for comment.
CAIR faced criticism in 2023 after its executive director and co-founder, Nihad Awad, said he was "happy" to see the Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel.
"The people of Gaza only decided to break the siege — the walls of the concentration camp — on Oct. 7," Awad said. "And, yes, I was happy to see people breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land and walk free into their land that they were not free to walk in."
At the time, the Biden administration condemned the "shocking, antisemitic statements in the strongest terms."
Earlier this month, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., called on the IRS to revoke CAIR’s nonprofit status, citing alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.
[DM] Residents of a coastal Florida city are furious over plans to erase a decades-old park honoring World War II veterans to make way for a sprawling new 'government campus'.
Memorial Park is a cherished 17-acre public haven in the affluent suburb of Boca Raton that has served as a community cornerstone for decades.
The multi-recreational facility was dedicated to WWII veterans back in the late 1940s, and has stood as a physical reminder of the city’s origins and its wartime legacy since.
However, real estate tycoon David Martin’s development firm Terra and Frisbie Group officially won the bid to tear it all down - clearing the way for a $2.5 billion, 1.5-million-square-foot megaproject.
But the move has sparked outrage, with dozens of residents in Save Boca T-shirts rallying against the project at a fiery city council meeting on Tuesday, where they demanded a public vote on the plans.
'I’m confused. Either you guys are completely incompetent, hopelessly tone-deaf, or truly think we’re the stupid ones. But we’re not,' resident Joe Majhess fumed. 'How did we get here?
'It’s our land, and you couldn’t seem to care less. You have no business operating on our behalf, behind our backs, or with willful ignorance towards the will of the public. Public land deserves a public vote.'
'The voice of the people is stronger than ever,' John Pearlman, founder of Save Boca, added. 'They’re saying stop this project, they don’t want it.'
Frustrated residents also questioned why the city has aligned with Terra Group, since the developer is currently embroiled in legal action over the deadly 2021 Surfside condominium collapse, which killed 98 people.
Terra, along with its partners and contractors, was accused of destabilizing the Champlain Towers South building during construction.
About a year after the tragedy, Terra and its team agreed to a $400 million settlement - while denying any wrongdoing - contributing to a total payout of over $1 billion for victims and their families.
'Did you ignore the fact that Terra hid a $400 million payout to the victims of Surfside, or did you just not know?' Majhess said at this week's meeting. 'Perhaps they might not be the best partner.'
The protests erupted after Mayor Scott Singer and three other council members informed residents that they would proceed with the deal to move forward with the project, which is set to be built on roughly 31 acres of public land.
Written into a 99-year lease between the City of Boca Raton and David Martin’s Terra and Frisbie Group, the project is set to completely raze all 17 acres of Memorial Park.
The demolition would include the park's baseball field, basketball and tennis courts, the shuffleboard and skate park, as well as several government buildings, including the community center.

Courtesy of Skidmark, the Daily Mail’s take on the story here.
[Breitbart] President Donald Trump may have chosen to cut hundreds of millions of dollars in funding to a California wind project to punish Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) for signing a separate climate change deal with Denmark.
Or he thinks it a terrible investment of limited federal funds, so he killed the project. If California disagrees, they can spend their own money.

Lived by the Altamont Pass Wind Farm in California. Many windmills but few in operation. Building more is a scam.

"Gavin Newsom warns ICE agents will "show up around voting and polling booths to chill participation"...odd since only citizens can vote-it's almost like he knows illegals are voting...
