Auburn High School staff were set for a presentation by Michael Abraham. But the school apparently didn't vet him.
Auburn High School scheduled a guest speaker to lead staff through lessons on culturally responsive learning. But then the administration Googled him.
“Some of our staff saw a presentation he did at a different district on the topic of understanding and working with Muslim students,” the spokesperson explained. “We respect the rights of any students to have a safe place in school, of course,” Abraham said. “But Muslims have religious beliefs that affect what they want for their kids, that affects what classes that they may or may not want their kids in. And that’s just a reality. And the other reality is parents have a right to that.”
Abraham spends considerable time analyzing video by al-Zarqawi in his YouTube commentary, arguing he was either a fake or a Western intelligence asset. Al-Zarqawi was a Jordanian militant who led Al-Qaeda in Iraq and was known for his extreme brutality, including orchestrating suicide bombings and beheadings, including one against American contractor Nicholas Berg. He was killed by a U.S. airstrike in 2006, but his tactics and ideology significantly influenced the rise of ISIS.
After the Auburn High School announcement for the training, some staff complained about his online conduct. Consequently, the school canceled its training session.
