Public Schools Add Prayer Rooms, Foot-Washing Stations for Muslims
Two public schools in Minnesota have announced remodeling projects that will provide exclusive space for Muslim students to pray and to wash their feet.
Liz Collins, a reporter for Alpha News, first broke the story that has rocked the town of Osseo, a suburb of Minneapolis. She reports that Park Center Senior High will construct a prayer room and that a foot-washing stations is being added to Osseo Senior High School.
A school district spokesperson said that the prayer room had simply been mislabeled on construction documents and will in fact now be a “multi-purpose room” and that the foot-washing area is not specific to any particular religion.
The district would have us believe there are a good many foot-washing Lutherans in Minnesota.
“This is undoubtedly for Muslim students only,” one unidentified source told Alpha News. “I cannot understand how this can be happening in this era of no religion in schools.”
The way that taxpayer-funded schools have embraced Islam stands in stark contrast to the hostility they have shown to Christian students.
We recently reported on two Nashville-area schools that have made major changes inside classrooms to accommodate Muslim students celebrating their religious holidays.
Over the years, I’ve covered countless stories of Christian teenagers and teachers who have been punished for promoting their faith in Christ inside classrooms.
Beloved Christian campus ministries like the Fellowship of Christian Athletes have been banned while athletic teams across Michigan moved practices to accommodate fasting Muslims.
The Gideons International, a group of Christian businessmen who distribute free Bibles to children, are no longer allowed on many campuses. However, in Texas educators recently gave students copies of the Koran.
Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) noted the blatant hypocrisy, writing on X that “when the woke left says they want religion out of schools, they’re only talking about Christianity.”
“Maybe if Osseo worried about Somali gang violence as much as they worry about pandering to America-hating leftists, their schools and streets would be safer for their students,” the Republican congressman wrote. “Just a thought.”
Public school educators for years have argued that keeping Christianity out of public schools was always about the separation of church and state (a phrase that cannot be found in the U.S. Constitution, by the way). But in reality, the godless heathen educators wanted to boot Jesus so that Muhammed could take over.
