A teacher at a Houston-area high school is facing disciplinary proceedings for allegedly giving students anti-Muslim propaganda during class. Officials with the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District say the eight-page handout, which included references to terrorism and beheadings, wasn't approved by administrators. Authorities haven't yet released the name of the teacher at Foster High School in Richmond or what discipline he faces. The handout, entitled Islam/Radical Islam (Did You Know), made unsubstantiated claims like: '38 percent of Muslims believe people that leave the faith should be executed' An unnamed teacher at Foster High School in Richmond, Texas, is facing disciplinary proceedings for allegedly giving his students anti-Muslim propaganda during class . The handout, entitled Islam/Radical Islam (Did You Know), made unsubstantiated claims like: '38 percent of Muslims believe people that leave the faith should be executed' and that: 'There are an estimated 190-300 million 'radical Islam' followers.' The handout also mentioned Sharia Law, jihad, and had a section entitled; 'If taken hostage by radical Islamists, what to do', report KHOU. At least one student, who was Muslim, showed the document to her parents who contacted the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR). The CAIR, which has complainted to school, said on Tuesday that the documents contained erroneous information from an online anti-Muslim site. Council officials also called for the teacher to be disciplined. 'We're disappointed to learn one teacher made independent changes to a lesson plan, resulting in information being given that didn't follow subject matter, or state and local curriculum plans,' said a Lamar ISD spokesperson. A Muslim student showed the document to her parents who contacted the Council of American Islamic Relations and they complained to the school . 'As soon as this issue was brought to our attention, the administration addressed the situation with the teacher. 'Ensuring our students have access to factual information, given in the proper context, is a priority in our District. 'Arbitrary curriculum decisions, which are clearly outside of the guidelines, won't be tolerated.'
