Cert. Filed In Challenge To School's Curriculum On the Muslim World

A petition for certiorari (full text) was filed with the U.S. Supreme Court this week in Wood v. Arnold, (cert. filed 5/13/2019).  In the case, the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a high school student's Establishment Clause and compelled speech challenges to a classroom unit on The Muslim World.  One challenge was to the teacher's Power Point slide which included the statement that most Muslims' faith is stronger than that of the average Christian.  The other challenge was to the requirement on a work sheet for the student to fill in two words of the shahada.
