Today is the 124th Birth Anniversary of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Homeschool and a parent’s right (especially Black parents) to chose the right education for their children was actually illegal. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Members of The Nation of Islam were among those who fought against these laws that denied parents the right to educate their own children.
“Mr. Muhammad helped establish schools for the proper education of his children and the community. Indeed, the Muslim parents felt that the educational system of the State of Michigan was wholely inadequate for their children, and they established their own schools. By 1934, the Michigan State Board of Education disagreed with the Muslim's right to pursue their own educational agenda, and the Muslim Teachers and Temple Secretary were jailed on the false charge of contributing to the delinquency of minors. Mr Muhammad said he committed himself to jail after learning what had happened.
Ultimately, the charges were later dropped, and the officials were freed and Mr. Muhammad received six months' probation to take the Muslim children out of the Islamic school and put them under white Christian teachers. "This I did not do," he said.” [NOI.ORG]
Today there are numerous Muhammad University Of Islam Schools throughout the U.S.! We also have the right to homeschool because of people like The Honorable Elijah Muhammad!
