All schools close down in Augusta County, Virginia, over Islam homework

After an educator at a Virginia school passed out a standard homework task on Islam, such an irate kickback overflowed in that it incited authorities to close each and every school in the province as a security safeguard.

"While there has been no particular risk of damage to understudies, schools and school workplaces will be shut Friday, December 18, 2015," Augusta County Schools said. Extracurricular exercises were closed down Thursday evening.

What's more, online networking blasted over the school lesson - a straightforward drawing task - into an acidic exchange about religion and instruction.
