#3 Fine. Make sure they read the whole Crayon, not just the PC parts of it, and that they understand the idea that the later parts trump conflicting earlier parts.

#4 Read the Koran side by side with the matching Biblical sections, and discuss the archeological evidence that supports or contradicts what was written.

Granted, pious Muslims are unlikely to feel comfortable with this, as their tradition forbids that kind of approach, and also unbelievers in any way questioning or contraditing Muslim claims about their faith. Some pious Christians and Jews are also likely to feel uncomfortable about contradictory external evidence.

#7 Okay, that's first stage separation.
Our faiths formed a useful foundation,
But now that we're smarter,
Let's fire Muslim ardor
For burn of uncertain duration.

#8 It's a zoning thing, right Pappy?

I joke. Actually, the whole "no state religion" thing is one of the more clever bits in the Constitution, IMHO.

#9 This department needs to be cut open and strangled with it's own entrails, and fed to rats.

#10 Unbiased Biblical and religious history will never fly with the NEA. Schools should require classes on what it means to be an American and read the Constitution for themselves. It's the rule book that is common ground and the source of equality before the law, regardless of religious belief, yet most citizens haven't even read it. "These truths are self-evident"....If Muslims want to live here peacefully and lawfully as Americans respecting our laws, fine, but I would gladly relocate any Islamists to Paki-waki land or the hellhole of their choice. Just watched Bridge of Spies and the constitutional convictions Hanks voices are the crux of the issue. The real James Donovan did believe that everyone deserves a defense. "Our principles are engraved in the history and the law of this land," Donovan said in 1962. "If the free world is not faithful to its own moral code, there remains no society for which others may hunger" (The Milwaukee Journal). Destroy the Constitution, destroy America and all it represents.
