With the start of a new school year, Clarion Project (CP) reminds parents about Access Islam, a K-12 program backed by the Department of Education (Doe) that brings “Islamist indoctrination” into America’s public schools. Entailing explicitly religious instruction based solely on Islam and taught as a required subject, Access Islam clearly crosses the line between, in this case, mosque and state. As noted by CP, “no other religious program of this scale” has been backed by the DoE.
