A middle school teacher in Anaheim, California, rewrote the lyrics to a popular hit song as a way to teach her 7th graders about Islam. But one mother is upset because she feels it promotes the religion.

According to EAGnews.org, Nichole Negron's son mistakenly brought home a learning journal that is normally kept at school. But being that she is an involved mother, she looked through it and found the teacher's lyrics pasted to a page. Her son said they sang it several times in the classroom.

Here are the lyrics (sung to the tune of Rachel Platten's "Fight Song"):

Like a sandstorm
On the desert
Sending camels
Into motion

Like how a single faith
Can make a heart open
They might only have one god
but they can make an explosion

Chorus:

And all those things they have to say
Islam … Allah’s on the way
They will preach them loud tonight
Can you hear their voices this time?

This is their fight song,
Spread Islam now song,
Prove that they’re right song,

Their power’s turned on,
Starting right now they’ll be strong
They’ll play their fight song,

And they don’t really care,
If no Jews or C’s believe,
Cause they still have
A lot of others to reach

Umayyads, and Abbasids
Seljuk turks and ottomans,
Spread the faith,
Say Spread the faith

The Moguls rule in India,
Spreading Islam from their bones,
Still believe,
Yeah they still believe

Chorus

Like a sandstorm
On the desert
Sending camels
Into motion

Negron brought her concerns before the teacher and the assistant principal, but wasn't taken seriously. The teacher said she was only trying to prepare the students for a test, but admitted to thinking it might be problematic. The assistant principal blamed the mother's faith for finding the song offensive.

"I am a Christian," the mother said, "but that shouldn't matter."

EAGnews reports:

Negron also detailed other questionable items in her son’s study guide, including an apparent conversation between stick figures that seemingly cast Islam in a favorable light. She said the study guide was the first instance in which she’s questioned the curriculum.

“This is the first time, and I’m pretty involved in homework because I’m a stay-at-home mom,” she said.

Negron follows her son’s progress through a porthole online, and said because he had no missing assignments and was carrying a good grade, she didn’t ask too many questions. But when she noticed a missing assignment, she looked closer, and didn’t like what she saw.

“I didn’t really ask him what was going on in the classroom because I didn’t feel there was a need to,” she said. “When he had a missing assignment online, I checked and I saw that every single assignment, the only thing in his class, was about Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Islam, Islam, Islam, Islam.”

The report states that an apology was issued by the school district and they promised to investigate.

CAIR, the Council for American Islamic Relations, was asked to comment and even they questioned the teacher's motives. But not without a reminder that a concerned mom is treading dangerously close to xenophobia:

Especially with the recent attacks ISIS has been doing, knowing that this potentially Islamaphobic backlash might come about, what was the teacher’s intention?
