Granted, this is an isolated incident, but…
Khalid Chahhou, who was in his first year of teaching in Johnston County, gave students a worksheet in which they were to translate words and find them within a word-search puzzle.
Some students started uncovering strange words in the process.
“There were words like ‘kill,’ then I saw it said ‘destroy America,’” Eric Herrera said.
Not to mention:
“Allah help destroy this body of evil making humanity miserable.”
In his defense, the teacher says:
Chahhou, who also teaches Arabic at a religious school affiliated with the Islamic Association of Cary, told WRAL in a telephone interview that students got the wrong message from the assignment.
“When I made the assignment, I was upset and angry about a story I recently saw on the news. If any message appears, it is more of a message to myself, not to my students. I never meant to hurt or upset any students or parents,” he said.
Yeeeeeeah, right, Mr. Chahhou. Most teachers insert messages to themselves into school assignments when they’re upset over a news story.
What’s most troubling about this to me isn’t that he pulled this with his public school students, it’s that he teaches at a Muslim school as well.
God only knows what he’s teaching them in Arabic.
I urge you to listen to the words of an American citizen calling for shari’a law.

Don't know about you, but I put a "message to myself" on either my PDA or a bright, flourescent Post-it Note (3x3).
NOT ON A FUCKIN' WORKSHEET!!!!
Yeah, I believe him. Sounds totally reasonable. Just like,
-"That's not my pot/crack/meth officer."
-"Honey, it's not what it looks like."
and
-"My dog ate my homework."
I about blew a gasket when I read that story on WRAL. That is really not that far down the road from Raleigh, and to have scum like that nearby...... Grrrrrrrr!
