From TexasScoreCard.com: [WYLIE, TEXAS] Officials in the Wylie Independent School District have responded to public outrage over Islamic materials, including pamphlets on Sharia law, being distributed on a high school campus.
On Monday, a group called Why Islam? set up a table in a common area inside Wylie East High School during lunch time. The group was handing out copies of the Quran and pamphlets on “Understanding Shariah,” as well as offering hijabs to female students.
Marco Hunter-Lopez, president of the recently formed Wylie East High School Republican Student Club, alerted the public and raised concerns in videos posted to social media, which went viral Monday night after being shared on X by state and national media influencers Sara Gonzales and Libs of TikTok.
Hunter-Lopez said they typically have colleges who come to the school and pass out materials, but they’ve never had a faith group show up.
He said the Islamic group was passing out the pamphlets during the lunch hour.

The Wylie School District later released a lengthy statement saying “an outside organization invited by a student club distributed materials containing religious content to students on campus.”
The school said the proper protocols were not followed, and the school had not granted permission for the group to distribute the materials.
“The district was not made aware of this incident until a video referencing it began circulating on social media later that evening, around 8:30. Once we became aware, we immediately began an investigation. While that investigation remains ongoing, we have confirmed that district protocols for guest speakers and student club interactions were not followed. Ultimately, this issue stems from a failure to follow established procedures,” the school wrote.

Meanwhile, Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Tex.) is part of a GOP caucus called “Sharia-Free America,” and warned, “Islam didn’t come to the United States on the Mayflower. We imported it relatively recently via a suicidal immigration system. Importing radical Islam will destroy America just like it’s destroying Europe right now.”

“Sharia Law is incompatible with American values and has no place in the United States,” Gill declared. “I’m proud to join the Sharia Free America Caucus.”
