If this doesn't get your blood boiling, nothing will. This is the text of a message I received today from ACT for America.
Mary Janda, a veteran of 21 years of teaching at Concrete Middle School in Concrete, Washington, is under attack by the Washington affiliate of Hamas-connected CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations).
| Her “offense?” During a class discussion on bullying, she referred to Hamas and the Taliban as examples of organizations that use violence to “bully people.” |
A student in class objected, saying “My father is a Muslim and these statements aren’t true.”
Of course they are.
Hamas is a terrorist organization and the Taliban is who we’re fighting in Afghanistan!
The school district investigated the incident and correctly concluded Ms. Janda did nothing wrong.
| But CAIR-Washington jumped into the fray, alleging “racism,” contacting the media, and even demanding a Justice Department civil rights investigation. |
The Muslim father didn’t talk to the teacher to get her side of the story. Had he done so he would have known that Ms. Janda made it clear she wasn’t referring to Muslims or Arabs in general.
CAIR-Washington didn’t talk to the teacher, either.
No, CAIR-Washington saw this as an opportunity to further its faulty, cynical narrative that Muslims across America are regular victims of discrimination and civil rights abuses.
CAIR-Washington is now alleging there is a “pattern” of discrimination in the school district, demanding extensive information on curriculum, textbooks, and internal correspondence.
Meanwhile, a veteran teacher with an exemplary record, who stated something that is factual and provable, is under attack—her good name smeared so that CAIR-Washington can advance its political agenda.
| When local citizens in Concrete reached out to ACT! for America for our help, we responded. We connected Ms. Janda to pro bono legal counsel. And our chapters and members in Washington have organized a local rally in support of Ms. Janda. |
The rally will take place on Tuesday, March 19th, at 7:30 PM, at a local church in Concrete. An email about this rally is going out to all our members in Washington.
| If you would like to send a note of support to Ms. Janda, please email it to us at info@actforamerica.org and we’ll make sure she gets it. Please use subject line “Mary Janda.” And if you’re interested in attending the rally, email us and we’ll give you the name of the church. |
When people ask us why we spend so much time and money building a grassroots citizen action network, here’s one reason why.
When residents of Concrete reached out for our help, we were there. You can’t do that if all you have is a mailing list.
Your financial support during our Spring Pledge Drive will help us build this citizen action network bigger and stronger. Mary Janda wept during a meeting of concerned citizens when they all agreed to reach out to ACT! for America for help.
We’re able to provide the infrastructure of citizen support for Ms. Janda thanks to the financial support of people like you.

This is what CAIR is-a bunch of radical, subversive Islamist bullies, who think they can come into our country and intimidate us into submitting to their agenda.
Three bullies.
Nihad Awad- CEO of CAIR. Born in a Palestinian refugee camp in Jordan
Ibrahim Hooper PR spokesman for CAIR-from Canada
Hussam Ayloush Head of CAIR in So California
"Palestinian"
This teacher told it like it is-the Taliban and Hamas are a bunch of bullies who rule by intimidation. I will go farther. The Taliban are the very people who used to drag women into soccer stadiums are execute them in Afghanistan. They provided safe haven for al Qaeda as they were planning and executing 9-11. Hamas is a bunch of terrorists who launch rockets into Israel and drag suspected collaborators with Israel through the streets of Gaza from the back of pickup trucks. And CAIR goes after this teacher because she speaks the truth about these two despicable groups.
I just wonder what this kid's parents have taught him at home. I also would like to ask my American Muslim readers if this is what you want organizations like CAIR to do in "representing" you.
