(TULSA, OK, 8/13/2014) -- The Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-OK) today welcomed a decision by Jenks Public Schools' administration to stop using an Islamophobic Oklahoma City bombing conspiracy film in its classrooms.
In May 2014, after receiving a complaint from a concerned parent, CAIR-OK questioned the schools' use of the film Conspiracy: Oklahoma City Bombing as a part of its Oklahoma History Curriculum. The film falsely suggests that the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing was the work of "Middle-Eastern Islamist organizations."
