If there are any Muslim students in that school - you can bet they are not going to the Church or the Synagog
Just wonder if reporting is accurate that only the mosque visit is required. It shows them visiting other places of worship as well.
There is a beautiful old Catholic cathedral in Denver (Basilica of the Immaculate Conception) - I’d suggest they visit that, too (wouldn’t have to cover their ankles or head).

I’m glad my nephew goes to a Catholic school (has been there since Kindergarten). It’s a very good school with great kids and parents. His parents plan on him doing so through middle school and high school. My sister refuses to put him in a public school and I totally support that!
I’m generally opposed to slut walking, but would be willing to make an exception for this.
The time for being “polite” has passed. Be vicious.
and I see another fine reason to dump the so called public school system and homeschool. Common Core is anti-American progressive “poop” as another so aptly calls it.I would opt out or find my child sick on any day required to visit a Mosque.
My kids would have to be absent that day. I want them to have a healthy hatred of Islam, as Western kids should have. I rank it up there with hating Satanism, Nazism, and other forms of despotism, brutality, cruelty, and human slavery.
This double standard has to go. A full investigation should be conducted and those responsible censured or fired.
Too bad there isn’t a frying bacon scented perfume.
This is NOT acceptable because the field trip is mandatory.
If the field trip was optional then I would have no problem with it.
Parents should keep their kids home - but if for some reason they feel they cannot do so, they should at least send BLT sandwiches (with extra bacon) in their kids’ bag lunches.
Sorry, but this is an idiot article.
Students are not being forced to cover up in class. They’re being asked to respect the rules when they are on a field trip to private property.
That field trip is entirely appropriate, IMO.
“Know your enemy” is a prime maxim. Sadly, that’s probably not how the trip is being presented. But that’s the problem of the general teaching environment, not of this trip.
The field trip is not mandated. Students can be given an alternative assignment. Students will also be visiting a Roman Catholic church.
My kid would not being going on that field trip.
Bullshit.. That is child abuse!
Something is amiss. Dougco has a conservative Board who booted the teachers union.
Headcarves? I guess that is a pretty good way to describe a muslim practice.

Marvel’s coming out with a new female Muslim superhero who can fly.
It’s a good thing too, because she’s not allowed to drive.
