Agree with you 100%. Public school teachers shouldn't be allowed to use their classes for this stuff, period.

Freepers should imagine the shoe on the other foot & consider how they'd feel if this teacher had invited in a Muslim who handed out material critical of Christianity or Judaism.

Let's at least try to be consistent here. If anybody wants their kids to be indoctrinated one way or another about any particular religion, they are welcome to do it at home or send them to a private school, but taxpayer supported public schools should just stick to academics.

So you prefer our children be ignorant of different religions?
There's nothing wrong with studying religions as long as the study is about what the religion says without distortion.

And you honestly think that's what is going on now? Schools are not pushing certain agendas? Do you think schools aren't already teaching Islam?

Well they are, chickie, and you can be damn straight it is NEVER put into a negative light for fear of lawsuits.

They teach homosexuality but do you think they ever balance it out by having a dying AIDS patient come in and explain their said existance?

Our kids are being indoctrinated and it's this hands-off attitude that righteous conservatives have that will totally kill off public schools.

"Send them to a private school". How quaint.
