Yes, the insanity and denial of obvious reality is moving to a new level. Not long ago, this school may have expected protests for calling ISIS “Islamic,” even though its actual name is “Islamic State.” But now Teaching While Muslim is enraged because the school called the Islamic State a “terror group.” If ISIS isn’t a terror group, what is? But once the Western intelligentsia started denying reality, all bets were off, and this became the inevitable result. For years I have warned that charges of “Islamophobia” were being and would be used to inhibit all opposition to jihad violence. And here we are.

A side note regarding historical illiteracy: this school calls itself Schuyler-Colfax Middle School. This suggests that it was named in honor of two people, one named Schuyler and the other Colfax, or perhaps for one person with a hyphenated surname. In reality, however, the school is named for Schuyler Colfax, who was vice president of the United States from 1869 to 1873. Clearly the people who made the school sign, and possibly the people who ordered it, had never heard of Vice President Colfax, and so stuck an extraneous hyphen between his names, which would be as silly as my calling myself Robert-Spencer. Now, Schuyler Colfax is certainly not a major or pivotal figure in American politics. He was just another postbellum corrupt politician. But Americans should know their history. Not knowing or valuing our culture and heritage is one of the key causes of not being willing to defend them, and they are most certainly under attack.
“New Jersey school district apologizes for offending Muslim group with question about ISIS terror group in quiz,” by Gabriel Hays, Fox News, June 21, 2024:
A New Jersey school district apologized for offending a Muslim activist group this week after a middle school teacher featured a class quiz question naming the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, as a terror group.
The Wayne Township Public Schools superintendent’s office sent out a statement to the district expressing regret over an “inappropriate” question that was asked during a quiz at Schuyler-Colfax Middle School earlier this week.
“The question was offensive and contrary to our values of respect, inclusivity, and cultural sensitivity,” the office said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
The superintendent’s letter addressed a recent complaint made by the activist group “Teaching While Muslim” (TWM) on social media.
The group, which describes itself on its website as a network of Muslim educators that confronts “discrimination, implicit bias, and institutional racism” against Muslims in public schools, shared an Instagram post condemning a quiz question that one teacher posed to his seventh-grade students about the Islamic State.
The group shared a screenshot of the question, which read, “It is a terrorist organization that commits acts of violence, destroys cultural artifacts, and encourages loss of life in order to achieve its goal of global rule under strict Islamic Sharia law.”
Students were prompted to choose the group from the multiple choices below, which included, “The Shining Path,” “al Qaeda,” “Islamic State,” and the “Palestinian Liberation Organization.”
The image featured the “Islamic State” bubble filled in, as it was the correct answer. TWM condemned the question in the post’s caption, stating, “We have seen anti Muslim & anti Palestinian sentiments, teachers, and content in our schools over and over again. But we must not allow it to continue. Call and email everyone that you can.”
“This is not okay on a million levels. Go. And yes. This is real,” the post added. It also included a screenshot of the school principal’s alleged apology for the question, as pointed out by conservative journalist Andy Ngo on X….
When asked to confirm details of TWM’s account against Schuyler-Colfax Middle School, the superintendent’s office provided its statement apologizing for the incident.
It read, “First, I sincerely apologize on behalf of the school district. Such incidents are unacceptable and do not reflect the standards we uphold for our educational community. We understand the deep concern and disappointment this has caused among students, parents, and the broader community. It is also important to recognize that one question does not define our entire school community.”…

Does Isis mean God?
Great mother Isis, the goddess of healing and magic, was crucial to ancient Egyptian religious beliefs. She is known today by her Greek name Isis; however, the ancient Egyptians called her Aset. Her name translates to “Queen of the Throne” which is reflected in her headdress, which is typically a throne.(egyptianmuseum.org)
ISIS: meaning..Islamic State of Iraq and Syria also known as a terrorist organization.
2 meanings different truths.

There used to be a grouo called “Institute for the Secularisation of Islamic Societies” (ISIS) but perhaps they have since changed their name due to its association with Daesh.

When was the last time that Muslims apologized for ISIS terror? I thought the evil ISIS would have waken up most people… Everyone could have seen the real islam in the practises of this brutal organisation. Yet, most people have chosen the path of ignorance.

Back when isis was in the daily news, people who admitted what they were doing was wrong, evil, demonic, barbaric, etc. were also saying that the group had “hijacked” islam, that they were going against what islam is, what mozlums want, etc.
No one who said those things would admit that isis was doing exactly what the book of demon filth demands of mozlums…rape, murder, and do all possible for islam to rule over all of mankind.
Now here we have a bunch of mozlums ***defending*** isis and claiming all sorts of ‘anti-islam, anit-mozlum’ stuff along with the borrowed “racism” charge. Borrowed because islam is not a race and mozlums come from all races. Hijacked ‘racism’ might be a better description for using the word to inflame the minds of people who don’t know any different.
Besides the fact that the test question had three possible *right* answers. isis, al queda and the plo are all terrorist organizations, this group of mozlums in the U.S., defending isis are supporting terror….which makes that group a terror group.
They got an apology, but they smell blood in the water and the demands that the teacher be fired will soon follow. And if he is fired, then more demands about having a group from c.a.i.r. come in to have a *teaching moment*….remember bo…so all of the school kids can ask for a dirty carpet and recite the foul words which will make them all little mozlums in the eyes and dirty minds of mozlums everywhere.
The entire camel will soon be inside the tent. It’s very feculent odor is already.

A dash of illiteracy.
Then there is the dash as a bracket in the use of parentheses. An article by James Heartfield in Spiked (23 June 2023) is worth reading but it’s marred by Spiked’s style manual.
There’s this:
” The charter even tries to rebrand Hamas’s anti-Semitism – it conveniently claims anti-Semitism is a purely European phenomenon – as anti-Zionism …”
Why not this? :
“The charter even tries to rebrand Hamas’s anti-Semitism (it conveniently claims anti-Semitism is a purely European phenomenon) as anti-Zionism…”
Or, better still:
“The charter even tries to rebrand Hamas’s antiSemitism (it conveniently claims antiSemitism is a purely European phenomenon) as antiZionism…”
Who invented the dashed bracket?
Some American I guess, along with reformed spelling.

The school district should apologize to all Americans for NOT calling ISIS a Muslem terrorist group – that’s what they are – Sunni extremists bent on killing the rest of us.
Walter Sieruk says
To apologize for speaking the truth for calling ISIS a “terror group is both absurd and weak . For ISIS is a terror group , that’s putting it in a mild way to describe that brutal cruel vicious malicious and murderous jihad entity.
It’s very important to call such an “organization” this thing that it actually is.
If those local Muslims are immature that they can’t handle hearing the truth spoken about ISIS that that should be their problem . That they had become to very “enraged” about a short statement of truth is unreasonable , yet many can’t reason about when it comes to the topic of Islam or Islamic things
Furthermore this is a reflection of the wisdom printed in the periodical POOR RICHARD’S ALMANAC by Benjamin Franklin which reads “There are many reasons to become angry but very few good ones”
Walter Sieruk says
When it comes down to it the people who make up that New Jersey school district bu issuing an apology for speaking the truth of calling ISIS a :terror group” are in “the long run ” only revealing themselves to be weak “by caving in ” in the sight of those those Muslims who had complained.
Therefore , they will grow in their contempt for those who compose school district , maybe they were just being “tested”by those local Muslims and came out from that “test” showing themselves to be very weak.

If they are so scared to even ding ISIS, they should make it an official policy to say absolutely nothing about islam. At least, that way, they won’t be lying
But hey, they’re Democrats, so they do Democrat stuff

If our education system supports Islam, guess what will happen in a generation or so. Our children or Grandchildren will be living in an islamic world. Because of us.
We failed to protect them and allowed Muslims/islam to infiltrate our country and education system.

Sheikh Ahmed El Tayeb, the head of EL AZHAR who are considering the head of the Muslims sunny 1200 millions around the world.
The Sheikh Ahmed El Tayeb the head of the 1200 million Muslims sunny around the world agree and believe 100% that ISIS a terrorist’s Islamic group.
The school district of New Jersy did he never listened in any news or never googling to know what ISIS is doing by murdering, kidnapping, raping, beheading, burning, for the people.
The school district must be investigated to explain to us why he pronounces ISIS is not a terrorist’s Islamic groups.
99% of the Muslims around the world are sure 100% that ISIS is a terrorist Islamic organization
The school district of New Jersy must be resign immediately.
If ISIS what is doing with animals not human, they will announce her as a terrorist’s organizations group.
Enough is Enough.
