Now, the Council on American-Islamic Relations may be too extreme for President Biden, but not for Chicago Public Schools.Recent center plaza highlighted CAIR's Chicago branch is working with CPS on countering so-called Islamophobia and other student-centered initiatives.
according to According to CAIR Chicago's website, the extremist group “works with Chicago Public Schools (CPS), as well as many private and suburban public school districts, to promote inclusion and understanding of Islam and Muslim communities.” “We are working on numerous projects.”
This partnership will enable schools to provide CAIR training on rights, cultural sensitivity, and Islam to parents, children, and staff. In addition to its propagation, favorite storyCAIR Chicago is said to “meet with and advocate with schools and school districts to ensure the rights of students are protected.”
Despite pretending to be experts in combating sensitivity and classroom bullying, CAIR has a reputation for hate and anti-Semitism. It's not just the Obama Justice Department's fault. I got it. “Evidence at trial indicates ties between CAIR leadership and the specially designated terrorist organization Hamas, and CAIR has been named as an unindicted co-conspirator in this case.”
Blaze News previously reported that CAIR Executive Director and Co-Founder Nihad Awad, in a speech to the American Muslim Conference for Palestine on November 24, said that Hamas terrorist attacks against unarmed women and children are He was reported to have said, “I'm happy.''
“The people of Gaza just decided to siege the concentration camp and break through the walls on October 7,” Awad said. I talked about it before He clearly supports Hamas. “And yes, I was happy to see people breaking the siege, throwing off the shackles of their land, and freely entering their land that they were not allowed to enter.”
“And yes,” Awad continued, “the people of Gaza have the right to self-defense, they have the right to defend themselves. And yes, Israel, as an occupying power, does not have a right to self-defense.”
Awad's extremist statements were not an anomaly for CAIR.
Zainab Chaudhry, head of Maryland's CAIR chapter, called the state's new hate crime measures in late November after calling a Hamas terrorist attack that killed thousands a “Palestinian uprising.” He was suspended from serving on the committee.
Chaudhry, who was eventually reinstated, also said that Hamas terrorists resembled “Ukrainian freedom fighters,” that Israel was a Nazi state, and that Israeli infants slaughtered by Hamas were “fake.” insisted.
Hassam Ailush, director of CAIR in Los Angeles, said: Said In a Dec. 1 address to the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City, he said, “Israel has no right to defend itself as an occupier. is not so.”
When asked about the partnership between CAIR and CPS, Roz Rothstein, co-founder and CEO of StandWithUs, said at Center Square: An alternative partner that truly supports mutual respect and understanding between all communities. ”
Blaze News has contacted the CPS to confirm whether this partnership is still valid, despite some Islamic activist group leadership issuing apologies and hateful statements against terrorism. , no response was received by the deadline.
Whether or not this formal partnership continues, CAIR Chicago continues to put pressure on CPS.

Mahmoud Ihmud, an 8-year-old student at the school, said: Said WBBM-TV reported that his substitute art teacher “said Hamas is terrorists.”
“I told her I was from Palestine. She said, 'Hamas is terrorists.' I thought, 'No way.' She was like, “Yeah.” She thought, “That's not true.” She said, 'No, it's true – and it's true, I'm going to hit you,''' Ihmud recalled. “And I pushed her away and ran back to her desk.”
CAIR Chicago joins the boy's father in calling for Hamas critics to step down.
“We call on the CPS to mobilize additional witnesses and intensify its investigative efforts to ensure a comprehensive understanding of what happened.” Said Phil Robertson, Director of Litigation, CAIR Chicago. “This is fundamental to taking appropriate steps to address any misconduct and restore a sense of security to affected students.”
The teacher was investigated and expelled from the school.

In response to this report, we have We immediately began an investigation and notified the CPS Office of Student Protection.” Title IX to support our schools as needed. This substitute teacher is prohibited from working at our school. ”
