Administrators at the Vigo County School Corporation are trying to figure out how a Muslim family managed to go classroom to classroom Friday morning, handing out religious literature to most every teacher while school was in session.
Azar told reporters Monday afternoon that an internal investigation is being launched at Dixie Bee Elementary, the K through 5 school three girls in that Muslim family attend. Azar said those girls and their father were properly approved to drop off cards, with a religious message, and a flower for each teacher at the school. But the family, according to Azar, was never supposed to venture beyond the school’s main office.
The message on the fliers the family dropped off reads, “Mohammed is a prophet of Mercy. Do not defame people, lest you make them your enemies.”
Alharbi said he didn’t know anything about the specifics of permission to leave only in a central location. “I followed the rules. Nothing wrong happened. No one could judge me for what I did.”
The ISBA attempted to say that you could not allow such things as Christmas cards and gifts to teachers which might have Bible verses and not allow other gifts of a similar nature.
