We can't even say "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, yet this (http://www.necn.com/09/16/10/Mosque-field-trip-controversy/landing.html?blockID=312554&feedID=4206)is good idea?!
:confused:
... the video reveals that the students are being blatantly mis-educated about Islam. A mosque spokesperson is seen teaching the children that in Mohammed’s 7th century Arabia women were allowed to vote, while in America women only gained that right a hundred years ago. This seems to be an increasingly recurring theme in American schools – the denigration of western civilization and the glorification of Islamic history and values. In fact, just recently, the American Textbook Council revealed that the New York State high school regents exam whitewashes the atrocities that occurred during the imperialistic Islamic conquest of Christian Byzantium, Persia, the African continent, and the Indian subcontinent, even as it demonizes European colonialism in South America.
The mosque spokesperson also taught the students that the only meaning of Jihad in Islam is a personal spiritual struggle, and that Jihad has historically had no relationship with holy war. As far as we know, the school has not corrected these false lessons...

MOO, as a nation, we will have to majorly step on some toes to fix this sort of thing, to risk appearing a bigot in some circumstances even as other countries are learning this hard lesson.
The potential death of a nation by a thousand little cuts and scrapes, as it were.
Watch and learn. :(

Same here.
When someone invariably asked the same old tired question about how does my son interact with others since he is at home and is missing the rich, culturally divergent opportunities that public school offers, I tell them this.
Oh, I sneak up on him in the bathroom, beat him up and steal his lunch money!
It is what it is.

That was a perfect reply. Thanks.

Perfect reply, my ass! :D
He forgot: put him in a class of 35 students (45% of whom are SPED students without an "inclusion" teacher), a "dumbed down" curriculum to cater to the lowest functioning member of the class, and a teacher who is so harried with meaningless paperwork and meetings that he or she (or "it" nowadays) chooses the "path of least resistance" to enable him/her/"it" some time to interact with his/hers/"its" family on weekends, instead of grading 150+ essays written by students whose English teachers don't even teach grammar and punctuation anymore or correct their long, run-on sentences because to do so might damage the students' fragile psyche and cause them to cease writing their endless drivel.
I'd give the original response only a C-! (I give my addition only a C+! I'll wait for Richard to earn the A.)
(I have to quit coming into work on my day off....) :boohoo

ZD, that was my "simple" reply that most parents can grasp.:D
If I go too deep too fast, they get lost easily.
Rather than drag the kids to the mosque???

I’m curious if they made those kids recite the shihada, like the kid in the video below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMN76BTMkdY
If so, the poor kids can now be killed for apostasy if they renounce their new faith.
o8.2 In such a case, it is obligatory for the caliph (A: or his representative) to ask him to repent and return to Islam. If he does, it is accepted from him, but if he refuses, he is immediately killed.
o8.4 There is no indemnity for killing an apostate
(A: though if there is no Caliph (def: o25), no permission is required.)

Can you say al Taqiyya?
The Objectives of Jihad
o9.0
(O: Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada, signifying warfare to establish the religion.
o9.1 Jihad is a communal obligation (def: c3.2). When enough people perform it to successfully accomplish it, it is no longer obligatory upon others.
o9.6 It is offensive to conduct a military expedition against hostile non-Muslims without the Caliph’s permission (A: though if there is no Caliph (def: o25), no permission is required.

Same here Big Jim.

how many parents from that school are going to sound off ?
Haven't heard about it on the TV news yet...
anyone expecting to hear about it?
