The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the Marine Corps veteran and his wife by the Thomas More Law Center in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland.According to the lawsuit, both Christian parents would not stand by as their daughter was being indoctrinated at La Plata High School in La Plata, Maryland, where a religious faith was being allegedly promoted that attacks their own religious beliefs.“[John and Melissa Wood] refuse[d] to allow their teenage daughter to be subjected to Islamic indoctrination and propaganda in her high school world history class,” the prosecuting attorneys state in their suit. “[The school’s] curriculum, practices, policies, actions, procedures, and customs promote the Islamic faith by requiring students to profess the five pillars if Islam. [Students were required to] write out and confess the shahada, the Islamic profession of faith.”WND was told by a district spokeswoman that the principal and vice principal refused to respond to the allegations, even though they are fully aware of the complaint brought against them.
