This is pretty simple to me. It may not be very popular to say this, but I welcome the dialog with my kids, especially on subject like this. The solution is to teach them the rest of story, not try to insulate them from it. My 10 year-old has caused quite a riff on several occasions questioning the material at school. Be it “man-made” climate change propaganda or the one that actually bought me a meeting with his teacher and principle... the mock election at the school where my son, out loud and in front of the class, questioned the wisdom of anyone who would vote for Obama; an abortion pimp (he had other words for it that were quite abrasive, but more proper). He questioned their very morality, it was absolutely hilarious. It’s a private Catholic school, so they don’t take well to students breaking the chain and challenging the teachers. He sure makes them work for their money. I couldn’t be more proud.

It is important to teach kids the rest of the story.

But also as parents, teach them that the rule has been that no religion be taught in public schools. In other words, if Islam can be taught, Christianity should be taught in school.

Islam is not a religion, but a cult, but Muslims say it is a religion.
