Much can be said about government regulations, restrictions and "guidelines" in public education. I prefer to call it government interference. As a public school teacher, I stated that I would refuse to teach a supplemental unit on the "civilization" of Islam, if it became part of our required curriculum. Thank goodness the supplemental unit never materialized.
You go, girl!

Interesting comments. We can teach about Islam in a "cultural" unit (including OTHER cultures too). However, I haven't seen any real push to do so. I prefer to think of it sometimes as government interference too.
