Why does the speaker argue for historical accuracy and fairness for Muslim students?

Unknown 0:00

Historical accuracy should apply to everyone. Students should learn the difficult parts of history, religion, warfare, conquest, and political power, but they should learn them through evidence, context, and multiple perspectives. Muslim students deserve the same fairness and historical accuracy that we should expect for students of any other face. I respectfully ask the board to revise the standards so students are taught to investigate. history rather than being given a predetermined explanation for it. Thank you. Questions to this panel? Dot roll her. Uh could you come back to the party, please, Fatima?

Unknown 0:48

Um, I was wondering if you could recommend um a few things that you think were the most important about Islam. Um I mean, in my book it's the the generous generosity, daily giving, um the five daily prayers, and then uh the month of Ramadan of of fasting, simply because it they all three recomm represent this sort of um habitual behavior connected with the faith. And and I just wondered if you um could comment on what uh students of all faiths might be able to learn from things like that that you have in Islam. Yeah, Islam, including like other religions like Christianity, um, we all, you know, strive to be better, to be generous, to be kind and to be helpful to one another. So I think that's a very important and key concept that we should all like learn from one another and also preach.

Unknown 1:44

Okay. I I I just would commend Islam for having actual just habits and rituals that are connected with those those values. Mm-hmm. So that's thank you. Any other questions? Thank you to the panel. Next panel, please. Richard Gorel. Mohammed Sayed. Рола даз. Sayed Fawad Raza. Sarah Minor. Marian Barber.

Stephen K. Bannon 2:32

Right there and keep the noise up. Uh they're calling uh witnesses. This is the Tex the Texas Uh school board. today on forcing Islam or keeping Islam out of uh textbooks and out of uh

Unknown 2:46

syndicas education.

Stephen K. Bannon 2:47

And it's been an eye opener.

What questions are posed to the panel at the start of the discussion?

Stephen K. Bannon 2:49

Particularly you saw right there uh Islamic witness comes up. Sprouts all c spouts all kind of uh nonsense about Islam and then gets glazed by one of the committee members there about hey, the rituals are so great. Can you come back and tell us how the rituals make you a better person? Brandon Hall is with us. As soon as they get another uh witness coming up, uh we'll jump to it. Brandon, uh it's been kinda hard to watch this today, at least through my perspective. What you have three times more Islamic witnesses than um regular citizens of Texas or Christians. What's going on down there?

Brandon Hall 3:25

Yeah, well, you know, we're getting ready to deliver the final blow against uh, you know, Islamic terrorist organizations like CARE and the Islamists who want pro-Islamic content in the Texas social studies curriculum. We're voting on the high school social studies standards this week at the State Board of Education. And so we have some great um amendments this week that I proposed at the last meeting that teach the factual history of Islam about the conquest of. Christian and Jewish lands through jihad, about the brutal military campaigns and uh taking of sex slaves by Mohammed.

Which core practices of Islam does the guest highlight as important for students of all faiths?

Brandon Hall 3:57

And uh so obviously these Islamic groups are really upset about it and yeah, they have really flooded the board meeting this week.

Stephen K. Bannon 4:05

Well hold it, but people i it it everybody had chance to sign up here. W why is it three times more Islamic witnesses than uh than uh Christian or regular Texans, sir.

Brandon Hall 4:18

Yeah, I I mean, I think it goes back to just the motivation. I think that, you know, sometimes these Islamists are a little bit more motivated to push their ideology than unfortunately Christians can be. And uh so we've seen a lot of people come out in the past, but yeah, they they probably do outnumber us here today. And I think if they understand what's at stake, this these social study standards are going to reflect what we're teaching to five and a half million Texas students and generations. to come. And this is a civilizational battle, you know, that we're in right now between the conquest of Islam and our traditional Christian American heritage.
