I have no problem about teaching islam at school. I teach at a Christian school and I just finished a couple of days on Buddhism and Hinduism. Christians need to know how to answer these teachings.
Confession:I don’t teach about islam here. We live in largest by population moslem country and it is all around us.
Christians should never fear about learning the tenets of other religions. The Truth will out.
Having said all this, I would never require a student to respond to a question about any of those three in a way it would compromise their Christian walk.
Padlock the government indoctrination centers. It’ll save the kids, and a whole lot of money.
I understood him to say that teaching Christianity and Judaism occurs in earlier classes. I’m curious as to what they do teach regarding Judaism and Christianity. Are the students required to cite prayers, or make alters or design crosses?

Those pages on other religions were the pages that were missing from that particular book.
See list of recent reports of Islam in schools here MA, MS, MD, TN, CA, etc.

no. Christians need to strike the system.
bkmk
Take Christianity out of the schools and something will come in to fill the vacuum.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Don't these parents talk to their kids any more about what they are doing in school?
Do they not tell them to tell them EVERYTHING that the teachers assign that might even be questionable?
Regarding the left’s curious tolerance of radical Islam, despite the fact that Islam’s teachings and progressivism’s ideology are like oil and water:
Traditional, the-Bible-is-actually-true Christianity is, and always has been, the foe to be defeated. Progressives see Muslims the way the Allies saw Stalin (once the latter joined the war) — not at all friends, but useful against a common enemy. Islam stands ready to commit millions of ground troops not merely to subvert, but to extinguish, the Christian foe.
The tragic joke is that the left thinks it can lasso this tornado.
The root of it is that public education is stuffed with educrats that see Christianity as their primary implacable enemy. This they have in common with Islam, and why they continually promote Islam and deprecate and belittle Christianity.
It is intolerance, hatred, and bigotry.
Bump to bookmark.
When I was in school our principal routinely said “God bless America”. How far we’ve fallen.
