The Conservative Cave

With a smug look of satisfaction, Nancy Krause stepped up to the microphone at the Calvert County Board of Education meeting this week, turned and faced the crowd full of parents and students, and proudly declared her bold move: she called Child Protective Services on high school kids who attended a Turning Point USA event.

It didn't matter that parents granted permission for their kids to attend an event organized by the students themselves.

Despite that fact, Krause saw danger in every corner and acted like a hero in her own mind.

She bragged about making the call without hesitation or second thoughts, framing the event as a threat to vulnerable teens. She described the food and drinks as lures. Parents stayed home while their kids listened to speakers talk about limited government and American values.

Guests at the event even included board members, but to Krause, that setup screamed neglect. She labeled it all as potential abuse and hit the report button. Her words were loud and clear: Students face critical stages ripe for bad influences, compared to the "good" influences that run rampant throughout American high schools.

By not including guardians, it kills any attempts at transparency. So she, a mandated reporter and community volunteer at the local museum, stepped in to save the day.
...
Instead of acting like a responsible adult, Krause dialed up the state, turning the student-led chapter launch into a crisis warranting government eyes on family homes.

Parents rightly took exception, calling it censorship wrapped in concern. Legal experts also chimed in; frivolous CPS reports waste resources and invite penalties in Maryland.

Sure wish these people would provide some context when they post these things.

Man this post brought back memories of all the DUmmies posting how they were always walking around greeting all the muslims in Arabic (or whatever the hell they were claiming to say).

INITIATING THE SAYING OF SALAAM TO NON-MUSLIMS

Muslim scholars in Islam have three major views concerning the saying of salaam to members of others faiths, such as Christians, Zoroastrians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Animists. One group of scholars prohibits it, while a second group permits it. Yet a third group takes a midway position by saying when conditions call for it or make it necessary, Muslims may initiate the greeting of salaam.

It has been authentically reported from the Prophet (Peace be upon him) that he said:

“Do not initiate Salaam with them….” But it was said that this injunction was specifically when they were going to Banu Quraizah9. But the question is, is this a general rule applying to all non-Muslim citizens, or only to those who exhibits hostilities to Muslims as did the Banu Quraizah? This is a point of deliberation (among scholars).

Ι. PROHIBITION OF INITIATING THE SAYING OF SALAAM TO NON-MUSLIMS

A good number of Islamic scholars are of the view that it is prohibited to initiate the greeting of salaam to non-Muslims. They say salaam is meant to be exchanged among Muslims and that the verse of the Qur’an which spoke of greeting with salaam is referring to Muslim alone. This was the view of Ata’ bin Rabah They went further to say that salaam is to Muslims as shalom is to Jews. They backed their position with the Hadith reported by Abu Hurairah, where the messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said: “You must not initiate the (greetings of) salaam with Jews and Christians,”. They say, salaam is a greeting of honor and a non–Muslim (kafir) does not deserve to be honored. Ahmad Bin Hanbal commented on the above Hadith: “Going by this Hadith is better than any other contrary opinion”. Ibn Hajar is of similar opinion, while commenting on the above Hadith, he said: “The most credible of all these (views) is what is evident in the above Hadith, although it is specific to the People of the Book. Ibn Katheer also, while commenting on the verse on greeting (Qur’an 4:86) said: “But as to non-Muslim citizens (Alum Dimmit) one should not initiate to them the greetings of salaam” Abu Haneefah and Malik Bin Anas detested initiating salaam with non-Muslims.

More than half of the people on my crews in the plants are of Mexican heritage.  All of them have TWIC cards so they can work in the plants.  None of them are worried about ICE.
