Ah, the old FReeper blame the victim attack.
Sorry, but these parents are paying for that school with their tax dollars, and their child has every right to get a decent education and not be indoctrinated in Islam in the course of it.
I wouldn’t send a child to public school now, although I did when my kids were young because the Catholic schools were, if anything, even worse and more ideologically leftwing and also didn’t even provide a good secular education. Homeschooling hadn’t even been “invented” yet, and while it’s available now, not everybody can do it, either because of time constraints or simply because they aren’t good at doing that kind of thing.
But the question remains: why should the state be able to take advantage of the public schools to indoctrinate the kids in Islam? This man was brave for filing suit and I hope they prevail, because this isn’t the only place in the US where this very same thing is happening.

Do not forget all of us who never had any children, but have paid property taxes & about 50% of those monies go to the schools. At the least, I should expect that my tax money buys a kid who is worthy of being employable out of 12th grade. NOT Happening.
I bought my first house in May of 1966-—just shy of 50 years ago. I inherited a 2nd house in 1980, & I had paid the property taxes for my Dad for 8 years prior to his death. I bought a third house in Jan of 1989, and I rented it out until I could move into it in 1993, while renting out the first house. The inherited house was also rented out. I sold the first house in April of 1995. I sold the inherited house in about 1998. I sold the third house in Nov of 2004 and bought this property in Jan of 2005.
That all adds up to 82 years of school taxes I have paid for. I never had any kids-—no grand kids-—So I have paid a tremendous amount of money for schools which I never used. Sure would like a refund on 50% of that money!!! With frozen soc sec payments at age 76, it would be very welcome.
Those of us who don’t have kids also have a reason to gripe about how the school administrations & teachers are handling our kids.
Hooray for this vet who is suing !!! Deserves all of our support.
