For more than twenty years, I—and a small handful of colleagues—have warned about the lack of education—or worse, the obfuscation and dissembling—surrounding how the events of 9/11 are taught, if they are taught at all, in American schools.
“When the confrontation begins, strike like champions who do not want to go back to this world. Shout, ‘Allahu Akbar,’ because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers. Allah said: ‘Strike above the neck, and strike at all of their extremities.’ (9/11 Muslim terrorists)
The Geller Report has long documented the islamization of our public school curriculum, dawah (islamic proselytizing) masqueraded as world history studies.It is meticulously documtented in my second book, Stop Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance.
In all the coverage you watch today, the Islamic terrorists and their motive won’t be mentioned or discussed. Fearfully, this is in accordance with the sharia (do not criticize Islam under penalty of death), a horrible victory for the forces of Islamic supremacism.
Then President Obama further perverted the day by declaring 9/11 a ‘day of service,’ not a day of mourning.
The post-9/11 war on truth and reality was the successfully implemented template for the propaganda and misinformation machine the Democrats have employed to destroy our country and dismantle our freedoms. Censoring the truth while smearing, defaming and attacking anyone who dissented from the lie is now the daily business of the Democrat party and its running dogs in the media, academia, entertainment axis.
Despite the establishment clause, American school children are inculcated with Islamic propaganda in the classroom. In most middle school social studies classes, a whole chapter dedicated to just Mohammad. No such chapter exists for Jesus or Moses. Children are taught the shahada, the five pillars of Islam, and hatred of the Jewish state. Christianity and Judaism are given no such platform. Parents who voiced concerned were labeled “racists” (Islam is not a race) and “islamophobes”).
It is only logical that jihad indoctrination would go even further. If public schools are teaching Muhammad, Quran and hadith, then it is a natural next step to sanction jihad slaughter.
Why aren’t our children familiar with the last letters of the 9/11 Muslim terrorists? Read the ‘martyrdom’ letters left by the Muslim terrorists, ““Remind your brothers that this act is for Almighty Allah” done in the cause of advancing Islam.
Forty Years of Misunderstanding Islam
This is the whole of it. Denial of Islamic reality. Twenty years of Islamic supremacists, leftist apologists and dissemblers, and their running dogs in the media and academia denying the reality of jihadic doctrine, Islamic apartheid, etc led to this terrible moment.
Joe Biden:”The greatest lesson of September 11. Not that we will never again face a setback, but that in a moment of great unity we also had to face down the worst impulses, fear, violence, recrimination directed against Muslim Americans….”

Hijacking history: Woke teachers offer twisted 9/11 lessons focused on ‘Islamophobia’ — not 2,977 innocents killed
By David Spector, NY Post, Sep. 5, 2026
Only two US states legally require that 9/11 be taught in public schools — and the void is being filled with twisted lefty lessons blaming America, downplaying Islamic terrorism and portraying Islamophobia as the real tragedy.
The hijacked history of America’s darkest day has created a lost generation. According to one shocking new study, two-thirds of American Middle East studies professors say college kids cannot identify who attacked the US on Sept. 11, 200,1 or why.
New York requires schools to observe a moment of silence on Sept. 11 and the state Board of Regents includes teaching about the attacks in social studies standards, but the state has no standard curriculum covering the attacks.

“We made a promise to ‘Never Forget’, but today, only a handful of states require 9/11 to be taught in their schools,” Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R- Long Island), who is pushing legislation to mandate 9/11 curriculum be taught in all 50 states, told The Post.
In the absence of mandatory standards, leftist activists — some backed by billionaire George Soros — are producing lesson plans filled with woke distortions of the attacks, even in New York City schools, according to an analysis from the North America Values Institute, an education watchdog.
“Teaching Beyond September 11th” — a radical retelling of 9/11 that devotes a single paragraph to the horrific attacks and fails to refer to the murderous Islamic extremists as terrorists — focuses lessons on “Right-Wing Extremism” and “Islamophobia and the Oval Office.”
The curriculum was developed by the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education, and includes this passage: “On the 11th of September 2001, 19 hijackers flew two airplanes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York, one airplane into the Pentagon in Virginia, and a fourth into a field in Pennsylvania. A total of 2,996 people were killed, including the hijackers.”
Education departments in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Wisconsin and Oregon all recommend “Teaching Beyond September 11th” in public schools.
The lesson does not provide the radical Jihadist motivations of the terrorists, and appears to equivocate on whether al-Qaeda mastermind Osama Bin Laden was behind the attacks.
“The US accused Saudi national Osama bin Laden, living in Afghanistan at the time, of being the mastermind behind the attacks,” the lesson states, without mentioning bin Laden’s multiple confessions or his broader campaign of terrorism and declaration of Jihad against the US — which he labeled the “worst civilization witnessed by the history of mankind.”
Other topics in “Teaching Beyond September 11th” include “Surveillance of Muslims,” “The Muslim and African Ban,” and “Muslim Youth and Resistance.”
A lesson on the 2005 riots over a Danish cartoon depicting the prophet Muhammad — which caused the deaths of 250 people globally — asks students to discuss how the media “presented certain values as more important than the fact that the cartoons were offensive and racist.”
Zineb Riboua, a Research Fellow at the Hudson Institute, told The Post that the attempts to rewrite 9/11 history was part of a broader leftist project.
“You teach kids that America is responsible for the atrocities around the world to develop a moral framework that can be activated very quickly to get policies that reduce America’s power and sovereignty,” Riboua said.
She added that leftist activists were taking a page out of The Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps playbook in targeting their propaganda at schoolchildren.
“Ayatollah Khamenei said the best audience to target is students,” she said.
Sept. 11 history has been hijacked in other ways:
- The NEA, the national teachers labor union, provides resources for teaching 9/11 that quotes radical anti-Israel professor Edward Said calling the —US “cruel and inhumane” and blaming the 9/11 attacks on America’s support for the Jewish state.
- The Voices Ethnic Studies curriculum used in Pittsburgh public schools teaches that the attacks led to “increased experiences with racism and Islamophobia,” with no mention of how many people were killed or by whom.
- A California ethnic studies curriculum reportedly stated that “9/11 served as a catalyst to bring about more blatant discrimination” and referred to America as a “colonizer.”
- The Council on American-Islamic Relations pushes 9/11 curriculum that accuses the US of “state-sanctioned Islamophobia” after the 9/11 attacks.
The woke propaganda appears to be having its desired affect, according to a damning new poll.
An overwhelming majority (66%) of American Middle East Studies professors believe that college students cannot correctly identify who the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks were or what its causes were, according to a poll released by the academic research nonprofit the Association for the Study of the Middle East and Africa.
The poll also finds that the historical hijacking is not limited to America’s public schools. Two-thirds of Middle East Studies professors said that scholarly academic work actively runs cover for regimes, groups and ideologies that hate America, according to the survey of 470 respondents.
Not to be outdone, a woke NYC teacher has taken it upon himself to assign his students Osama Bin Laden’s infamous “Letter to America.”
Adam Feinberg, who teaches at Brooklyn’s City Polytechnic High School, then has them answer questions based on the propaganda text, such as, “Why do you think Osama bin Laden hates Jews so much?”
Other questions include, “For what reasons does he believe that America is the ‘worst civilization witnessed by the history of mankind?’”
He also asks, “Find the word ‘usury’. It means lending money with high interest rates. Why do you think Osama bin Laden disagrees with this?”
He uploaded the vile worksheet, designed for ninth through12th graders, to the American Federation of Teachers Share My Lesson Portal in February 2020.
Feinberg, who made $113,394 in 2025, routinely disseminates his leftist ideology on social media, such as sharing a meme mocking assassinated conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk shortly after his death. Feinberg did not deny the worksheet belonged to him but declined further comment.
“Teaching Beyond September 11th,” released in 2020, was developed for high school and early college students and focuses on “Islamophobia, xenophobia, civil liberties, long-lasting wars, media and representation,” according to its website.
The lessons do not include the enduring legacy of the attacks on the families of the victims, nor of the nearly 10,000 first responders and civilians who have since died from illnesses caused by Ground Zero toxins.
The goal of the curriculum is to “relate anti-Muslim racism/violence with other forms of racism and violence (e.g. Black Lives Matter; xenophobia, anti-Semitism etc.) in the United States and abroad,” per its website.
One of the lead developers of the curriculum was Deepa Iyer, who runs the social justice nonprofit Solidarity Is, which is part of the Soros-funded organization Building Movement Project.
Soros — notorious for raining chaos on American cities by electing soft-on-crime DAs and funding radical protest movements — has donated at least $1.35 million to the Building Movement Project via its fiscal sponsor Third Sector New England, which has over $92 million in revenue, according to public records.
