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.

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.
