She reported on a school where students are forced to profess Islam.
If you think that it is only in the US that school kids are taught the glories of Islam, think again. In Sweden, a court has convicted a Swedish writer and blogger named Katerina Janouche for posting an article about a school where kids are forced to profess their faith in Islam (even though they are not Muslims). Janouche was contacted by an angry parent and wrote a posting on the issue. She also identified the school and the teacher. For that, a Swedish court found her guilty of gross defamation.

Domestic: Immigration critic profiler and childrens' book author, Katerina Janouche was convicted today for gross defamation of a teacher who she accused of forcing pupils to profess Islam.
"Of course, I was convicted in the Uppsala PK court," Janouche commented after the conviction.

Katerina Janouche wrote a blog post in March 2020 about an assignment that pupils received in the third grade at a school in Tierp.
A parent had contacted Janouche about how schoolchildren were forced to write texts from a Muslim perspective and, among other things, describe how they pray to Allah and visit the mosque.
"9-year-old forced to confess to Islam," read the headline of Katerina Janouche's post, in which the school and teacher were named.
"I myself am so mad I am boiling. How can they do this? We are Christians and my child should not be forcibly Islamicized in school teaching," said the mother of one of the children that Janouche wrote about.
The district court finds that Katerina Janouche-who has a large number of followers on social media- by posting the teacher's name, is guilty of gross defamation. She is sentenced to a suspended sentence and 50 daily fines of 150 kronors. She must also pay damages of 50,000 kronors to the teacher.
On Twitter, Janouche comments on the verdict and reports that it will be appealed.
"Of course, I was convicted in the Uppsala PK-Court by a grumpy batik witch who has no problem with the Islamization and humiliation of small children. The teacher wants 50,000 in "damages". An appeal to the appellate court, for sure!", she writes and continues:
"I expected to be convicted since the judiciary is a wreck, and we already have sharia law where it is forbidden to criticize Islam and its apologists".

I'm curious as to what the assignment was. If it was "write from a Muslim perspective", it's clearly an exercise in creative writing and empathy. That's not the same as professing faith in Islam. Writers tell stories from perspectives that don't match up with their own all the time.
When I was in junior high, I had to write from the point of view of a medieval knight. That didn't mean that I was a medieval knight or that I was being coerced into adopting the code of chivalry.
I'd be curious as to the greater context of all this. On the face of it, it doesn't strike me as a good idea. However, if students are asked to write similar assignments from the point of view of all kinds of people/backgrounds, then this one shouldn't be a problem.
The greater context is that our children are being brainwashed into believing something that isn't true to begin with. The greater context is that this is just another example of the West's surrender to Islam. This is not just happening in Sweden but the US as well. Nobody would think of forcing Muslim kids to visit a church or synagogue and repeat Christian or Jewish prayers or act like they are of another faith. The Muslim parents would raise holy hell as would CAIR etc. Frankly, they would be justified.
How would you like it if your kid was being induced to report phrases like "Jews are the descendants of apes and pigs" or "Don't take Christians and Jews as your friends"? Should kids be instructed to write an essay from the point of view of Hitler for the sake of creative writing and empathy?
I once spoke before the school board in Huntington Beach and told them something like this. "Nobody is asking that you teach kids that Islam is bad, but if you can't give them factual information, it would be better to leave religion out of the classroom and let them figure it out as they grow older and learn from world events."
How would I like it if my kid was being asked to say things like "Jews are the descendants of apes and pigs"?
That would be awful. Well, the bit about pigs, anyway. Technically speaking, human beings ARE apes, so it is true that Jews descended from them, but that's true for all of us.
But back to the point - is that even what's happening? Is that what happened here? If not, I have to wonder why you'd even say such a thing. Obviously any decent person (including a whole lot of Muslims) would be against that sort of a thing.
And while I'm sure that one could find a single example of something like this (because you can imagine any crazy thing and find at least one example of it) is there any evidence that this is happening all over the place? I highly doubt it.
And again, there should be no issue with "pretending to be of another faith" depending on exactly what the parameters of the assignment is. Having to memorize the prayers? That's unacceptable. Writing as though you're having a big meal of kebabs and rice after fasting all day from Ramadan? That should be fine.
I described you as being a "reactionary" before, and you implied that I must be a Marxist (which helps to prove the point, really.) Your response reads exactly like a reactionary. Unless you can show that the kids DID have to write disparaging things about Jewish people, your comparison to Hitler is pretty unhinged.
