(Arizona Republic) A U.S. District Court judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed against Scottsdale Community College and one of its professors for teaching material that a student said condemned Islam.
The student, Mohamed Sabra, and the Arizona chapter of the Council [on] American-Islamic Relations filed the lawsuit, asking that SCC and professor Nicholas Damask stop teaching the materials in question until they “do not have the primary effect of disapproving of Islam.”
In a lawsuit filed in June, attorneys for Sabra said he answered quiz questions based on how Muslims practice their religion, but the answers were marked as incorrect. Sabra was forced to decide whether to disavow his religion or be punished by getting the answers wrong on the quiz, the lawsuit said.
