Sorry About That

Don't call terrorists terrorists:
Children at Schuyler Colfax Middle School in Wayne, New Jersey, were asked to select one answer in a multiple choice test that fits the description, “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.” The choice of answers was as follows: Islamic State Peru’s The Shining Path Al Qaeda Palestinian Liberation Organisation Of course, the Islamic State is the ‘correct’ answer. However, the group known as ‘Teaching While Muslim’ (TWM) charged, “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.” The social media post from the group continued: “Call and email everyone that you can. This is NOT okay on a million levels. Go. And yes. This is real.” The post ended with the hashtags “anti-Muslim racism” and “Islamophobia.”
It's not phobic if it's true...
