Excerpt:
Maury County Director of Schools Chris Marczak has asked parents concerned about a seventh grade social studies class on the history of Islam to discuss their questions in a Sept. 17 meeting with district teachers and administrators.
"If we are truly going to Grow Maury County together, then we need to openly talk and discuss about what we want to emphasize in our county," Marczak said in a noon Thursday statement to district parents.
"I encourage you to talk with your children, talk with your teachers, and talk with your principals. We are here to help your children be prepared for Life."
