From Drudge:
Rush mentioned this yesterday. He said the calligraphy lesson included writing in Arabic. “There is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet”. That is the (forgot the word) that a convert to Islam repeats. It was a supremely stupid assignment.
VERONA, Va. (AP) — Security concerns have prompted officials in a Virginia county to close schools after parental objections to a world geography lesson that included Islam.
………………….
Media outlets report that a Riverheads High School teacher last week asked students to complete an assignment that included practicing calligraphy and writing a Muslim statement of faith. Students weren’t asked to translate the statement or recite it.
Bond says that the school district received “voluminous” phone calls and emails about the lesson.

“A story published by the New York Times late Thursday night caused some major media waves. The story, which was written by reporters Peter Baker and Gardiner Harris, included a remarkable admission by Obama about his response to the recent terror attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California.
By Friday morning, however, the entire passage containing Obama’s admission had been erased from the story without any explanation from the New York Times. Here’s the passage that was included in the story when it was published Thursday night, courtesy of CNN’s Brian Stelter:
In his meeting with the columnists, Mr. Obama indicated that he did not see enough cable television to fully appreciate the anxiety after the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, and made clear that he plans to step up his public arguments. Republicans were telling Americans that he is not doing anything when he is doing a lot, he said.”
He needs to watch cable TV to know what’s going on with people? Doesn’t he have advisers to tell him that sort of thing? He really is clueless & tone deaf.

That’s a pretty thin excuse. I listened to much of his press conference on the radio today (I was driving around a lot) — just head-shaking.
This time next year there will be a new president-elect. I’d like to think it will be a positive step forward, but not feeling all that confident.
Still, the end of this administration — I know I’ve said this before — just can’t come soon enough. What an utter disaster.
