I stopped by a friend’s house the other day to give her something from another mutual friend. They are both public school teachers. Turns out what I was giving her were lesson plans for this week...lessons on the history or Ramadan, Kwanza, Hanukkah, atheism, and Darwinism. (They pick the week before Christmas to do all this nonsense, of course.) I asked, “Where’s the history of Christmas?” She said they aren’t allowed to teach about it. “Too oppressive.” I said, “Yeah, that Jesus guy was really dispicable, wasn’t he? Healing the sick, teaching love and forgivness and dying for the world’s sins? Yeah, what an oppressive jerk... But Mohammad, now there’s a real savior, raping children and what not.”
She didn’t understand what the big deal was. But I see it. You can’t teach the history of a religous holiday without teaching what a religion believes. I told her that she’s taking part in desensitizing these kids and following the progressive agenda by trying to justify this to me. Then Is aid every time I talk to her, I find one more reason to defend homeschooling. That went into a whole other discussion...
Proof of my above assertion that
“religious diversity”
is simply “anti-Christian”.
Good for you for standing up and saying something to your friend — many would not...
If they are going to teach an overview of “World Religions & Beliefs” then they MUST include Christianity - it’s just that simple. Also, comparative religion as a subject in school should REALLY be left until these children are much older and can evaluate these things with a logical mind. Otherwise, as you said it’s all just part of an agenda. I remember hearing “the reason is because we “all” know about Christianity” - well, obviously that can’t be true if the children must be taught all these other religions... Otherwise, what is the point?
If they are being taught to understand that people in our country/world have different religious traditions what about the non-Christian students in their classes??? Is it wrong for them to learn about Christianity/Christmas??? I think not. What’s good for the goose...
