Islamic ideology is continuing to seep into every aspect of American life. Recently, an Islamic organization distributed religious content at a public high school in Texas.

From the Daily Caller:
Members of the Islamic organization Why Islam distributed religious content at a public high school in Wylie, Texas on Monday, a district official confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Members of the organization distributed brochures titled “Understanding Shariah,” Qurans and hijabs, according to a viral video posted to X featuring the president of the school’s High School Republicans. A district official confirmed the individuals passed out candy as well.
The official provided the DCNF with the statement sent to the families of Wylie East High School students Tuesday morning, which notes that an “outside organization” passed out “religious content to students on campus.”
The official clarified that Why Islam did not have permission to distribute materials on the school’s campus. The official stated the school takes “full responsibility” for what it calls “mistakes,” blaming those mistakes not on “religion, politics, ideology, or any personal belief system,” but, rather, on “a procedural breakdown. If proper protocols had been followed, this incident would not have occurred.” The official claimed the school is “actively addressing the lapses and reviewing our internal procedures and staff oversight.”
This comes at a time when Islam is on the rise, especially in Texas. Last year, a proposed Islamic development in Texas made headlines as critics warned the community would be governed by Sharia law. Additionally, voters in the Lone Star State will contend with a ballot initiative to ban Sharia law in Texas on March 3.
Though the school in question claims less than 50 students visited the organization’s table, it is still trouble that groups like Why Islam are sharing Islam ideology with impressionable children. Let’s pray that this dangerous ideology and Sharia law would have no place in our nation!
