2:06 – Father’s son was told as part of an alarming middle-school 9/11 lesson that Christians and Muslim religions cause the most terrorism and extremism. Teacher drew a tree outlining multiple religions but used a different color marker to create an “extremism branch” for Christianity and Islam.

That is unacceptable.”
