Virginia School District Advises Teachers Not to Associate 9/11 with Islam or Muslims
The six-page guide devotes about half its content to safe spaces for Muslim and Middle Eastern students and includes 30 references to Islam-related terms.
- On Friday, Virginia's largest school district, Fairfax County Public Schools , faced scrutiny over a new 9/11 instructional guide that directs teachers not to associate the terrorist attacks with Islam or Muslims.
- The six-page document instructs teachers to "design instruction around your students' needs and experiences" while explicitly telling them not to "center the extremists or the acts of the extremists" during 9/11 lessons.
- Roughly half the guide focuses on creating "safe spaces for Muslim and Middle Eastern students," while critics argue it fails to adequately explain al-Qaeda's extremist ideology or the deaths of nearly 3,000 people.
- Former Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares blasted the guidance as "monstrous," claiming it is an attempt to "cover the truth" about the day perpetuated by "extreme radical Islamic terrorists."
- FCPS stated it has a "deeply personal connection to September 11" and remains committed to an inclusive environment, though critics contend the guide's language contradicts these stated priorities.
