One fifth-grade teacher \u201cshared an exchange that occurred during a discussion and a student asking to leave to go to the restroom.\u201d The principal called the parent of the student, and the parent said that one student said \u201cyou are a Muslim like them\u201d and then apologized to her son without any prompting. The parent said she and her son never told the teacher or anyone at the school.<\/p>\n<p>Even by the parent\u2019s account, CAIR\u2019s version of her story was not true, Martirono wrote. \u201cWhile the parent confirmed speaking to a CAIR representative, the CAIR 9\/11 press release includes misrepresentations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe scheduled a conference with CAIR this morning to discuss the inaccuracies, and CAIR offered to issue a follow-up press release regarding the HCPSS response, but would not commit to a correction of the misrepresentations,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>CAIR\u2019s Maryland office did not immediately return a request for comment from The Daily Wire. It has not issued any new press release on the incident.<\/p>\n<p>Howard County is a Democrat-leaning county outside of D.C. Its county Office of Human Rights &amp; Equity abruptly canceled a play it planned for 9\/11 after seemingly booking the play without reading it.<\/p>\n<p>The play actually mocks the naivete of a white liberal woman and ends with her being beaten by her Arab husband, who said he felt \u201cpride\u201d when the World Trade Center fell. It ends with his nephew saying America \u201cdeserved what it got,\u201d and with the call that \u201cThey\u2019ve conquered the world. We\u2019re gonna get it back. That\u2019s our destiny. It\u2019s in the Quran\u2026 For three hundred years they\u2019ve been taking our land, drawing new borders, replacing our laws, making us want to be like them. Look like them. Marry their women.
