VIRGINIA TEACHER CHARGED WITH ASSAULT: GIRL’S HAND CUT IN FORCED ‘ISLAMIC HAND SIGN’ DRILL
An elementary school teacher in Chesapeake, Va. has been charged with simple assault after a parent claimed her daughter’s hand was cut open as a result of the teacher yanking her arm aggressively while trying to teach students an “Islamic hand sign.”
Officer Leo Kosinski, a spokesman for the Chesapeake Police Department, told TheBlaze that Tara Harris was criminally charged with a misdemeanor on Oct. 11 and released on a summons. The case is currently under investigation.
“It’s still a criminal charge. It happened at the school and it involved a student,” Kosinski said. The police department could not release any additional information.
Stephanie Bennett, the mother of the 10-year-old girl who was allegedly assaulted at Butts Road Intermediate School, told TheBlaze in an emotional phone interview that Harris has a disturbing trend of “indoctrinating” students with Islamic teachings. She also said the teacher openly campaigns for President Barack Obama in the classroom.
The incident of alleged assault occurred on October 2, according to Bennett.
“The teacher was going over Islamic hand signs with the children — she stayed on this issue for two days straight during their reading and math class,” she said.
Bennett’s daughter suffers from a processing disorder, making it difficult for her to quickly grasp things like hand signs. “Not that she’s uneducated or anything. It’s just a processing problem,” the mother said.
When Bennett’s daughter was unable to do the Islamic hand sign correctly after two days of instruction, Harris became frustrated and attempted to twist the girl’s fingers to make the Islamic gesture meaning “power and strength.” The way Bennett described it, it sounds like an upside A-OK hand gesture. It is unclear exactly which “Islamic hand sign” was being promoted as the source information comes from children.

There is exactly one authentically radical social movement of any real significance in the United States, and it is not Occupy, the Tea Party, or the Ron Paul faction. It is homeschoolers, who, by the simple act of instructing their children at home, pose an intellectual, moral, and political challenge to the government-monopoly schools, which are one of our most fundamental institutions and one of our most dysfunctional. Like all radical movements, homeschoolers drive the establishment bats

@Bill, yes, indeed! I homeschooled our son K-12 and he is a “radical” Constitutional conservative and can spot leftist propaganda a mile away!

With luck the local DA won’t run out of courage and will take this woman to court. To have hurt a child in her charge while trying to force teach something that is political rather than on the curriculum shows that she’s not fit for the classroom. Perhaps a few months in jail and several years probation along with revolkation of her teaching credentials will educate other teachers about what does not belong in the classroom.

What reason can there be for teaching an islamic hand sign when she ought to have been teaching what is required/expected from her: teaching her students how to read and do math? She ought to be fired on the spot. I hope the parents bring a multimillon dollar lawsuit against that teacher.

Not clear why Shatara “Tara” does not wear the hijab. Why just pick n’ choose?

@ Ohio Dan, yes/no
The wheat will most certainly be segregated from the chaff.
(I use ‘segregated’ in more than just a racial sense of that word, although along racial lines, the ratio seduced by this satanic cult is much greater. I use “wheat/chaff” in every connotation possible.)

I would like to give the teacher a universal hand signal of my own – accepted by Islam? Not so much!
What the hell was she teaching anything Islamic in a grade school for in the first place. Oh, I forgot – she also openly campaigns for Obama in the classroom too! Brilliant !

My kids are 10 and under. My wife is unsure about homeschooling, so the kids are in a Charter school.
I wish we could homeschool. I have to be on guard constantly. Battling what some teachers have told my kids…..

It’s become a travesty to “education”.

@Muddjuice, I wish I could have a chat with your wife about homeschooling! I think I could nudge her in the right direction!

@Muddjuice, be careful with charter schools, sime are just as leftist as the government schools. I put my son in one thinking it was better, not so. I fought with them constantly. If you and your wife can afford to homeschool or do private school, do it, you won’t be sorry.

You guys are a bunch of softies…If she’s so “into” Muslims and Sharia Law, then force her to wear a burka, and let 5 Muslim men beat the shit out of her when she takes it off.
Then let me finish her off with a good fart in her mouth.

We tried the public schools now we homeschool. Best Choice we ever made. Here in Southern Cali Homeschooling is a big thing. We have homeschool PE, Archery and lots of classes given for homeschooled kids such as Engineering with Legos, US History, Art, Music, Writing and much much more. Also have field trips here for homeschoolers. If it can be done here in Looney Land it can be done anywhere.

Why are they allowing any teacher to teach the children islamic gang signs? Would she get away with teaching the children crips or bloods gang signs?
Islam is the most violent, destructive, and bigoted gang in the world, why is it given such reverence in our American schools?
