The administration actually lies to hide the radical curriculum. It’s an IB school- IB is a program which was developed by UNESCO,part of the pro Islam UN. It teaches that Israel is occupied “Palestinian” territory. Coastal uses books edited by Shabbir Mansuri, who is connected to the Muslim Brotherhood. Close Quote

This school has the awful IB, or International Baccalaureate program. IB is a UN program which costs SCCPSS probably at least 200k a year(but school board refuses to disclose full cost). It's curriculum is very anti American,anti Christian,anti Jew and very PRO ISLAM! Much of the study material appears to be kept away from parents, who have no way to access the IB online site. The one textbook they allow to go home should be in a Muslim madrassa not in a US public school Close Quote
