The Selfs eventually had to pull their son out of school to escape ridicule on campus. He is now on independent study at home.

Good move! (Ping)

Our homeschool curriculum was far too generous to Islam also. Of course, the advantage of homeschooling is that I was able to correct it. So when my 7 year old told me that Gabriel appeared to MoMo in a cave. I asked him how he knew it was Gabriel. He said "It's in the lesson."

So I asked him if Gabriel would say that Jesus faked his resurrection or to kill Jews or to kill people who become Christians after once being Muslims. He agreed that Gabriel would never say any of those things. So it wasn't Gabriel. So what did happen?

We finally ended up agreeing that: Either (1) Mohammed made the whole thing up; or (2) Mohammed was crazy; or (3) Satan appeared to Mohammed and told him he was Gabriel.

One of the big advantages of homeschooling--we can correct this crap before it sets in as true. When he did his picture narration, he portrayed Mohammed as a pirate.

To paraphrase George Bernard Shaw, no one ever learned anything from a school book.

Hopefully, they’re instructing their children with what was once known as “Living Books.”
