Houston-area teacher faces punishment over anti-Islam handout

HOUSTON

(Reuters) - A Houston-area high school teacher is facing punishment from his school district for allegedly handing out material in a class that called Islam an ideology of war and said it is responsible for beheadings and kidnappings.

"We're disappointed to learn one teacher made independent changes to a lesson plan, resulting in information being given that didn't follow subject matter, or state and local curriculum plans," Mike Rockwood, executive director of community relations for the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, said on Wednesday.

The district said the teacher, who has not been identified, would face punishment but gave no indication of what it may involve.

The eight-page handout titled "Islam/Radical Islam (Did You Know)" was given to students at a district high school at the end of March.

1. I wonder if he wrote it. I can't find a copy of it anywhere and it's only 8 pages long.

From what little information given about it, it does seem to be strongly anti-Muslim.
