#1 Since when has the public schools / Education Association (Union) been concerned with real free speech (including those who disagree with them)?

I'm sure that CAIR will be screaming RACISM all over this one.

#2 Not that it's hypocritical to confuse a religion with a race (of peoples), but why let logic get in the way of a perfectly predictable whine?

#3 the real way to oppose Islam should be obvious - dont fight it, COMMERCIALIZE it.

"i cant get little Ahmed to pay attention to Koran lessons anymore, he spends all of Ramadan at the mall shopping for Eid el Fitr presents" etc.

#4 I have now donned riot gear as I await the volley of rotten fruit. Here goes - I don't have a problem with kids learning about Muslims in school. The "extra credit" fasting is a little heavy handed, but too many citizens know too little about people that don't reside in the US.

Learning is good as long as there are unsanitized facts presented to kids at an appropriate age. If kids are allowed to graduate High School without seeing pictures of Holocaust survivors then we have done the world no service. Presenting Rammadan is OK as long as honor killing an the Taliban are presneted at an appropriate age.

#5 No rotten fruit from me, SH. One of the better classes I had in early colleage was a comparative religions course. The instructor took each of the world's major religions in turn (except Catholicism, since it was a Catholic college and it was, er, assumed that you had that one cold) and discussed them -- here's what they believe, here's what they do, etc. Very helpful in understanding the world.

A comparative religions course done right in high school would be a great idea. Unfortunately the LLL, ACLU and the wankers would get ahold of it. Pity.

#6 SH&SW,I agree but this must include the unvarnished truth about the big 3.If they just feature a prettiefied version of Islam it's propaganda and indocrination.
