[[Do you KNOW that? Or assume it?]]

It’s a fact- the internet is a wonderful thing-check it out-

[[How do you know they are not?]]

Simple- there would be lawsuits to stop it- that’s how-

IF students are forced to write out the following, “Christ is superior to any other religion’s false saviors, because He is the actual Son of the Living God of all creation, while all other supposed ‘saviors’ are completely human, who worship false gods- not the true God of creation. There is no God but Yahweh”- You know darn well there would be lawsuits galore- Yet when it comes to students writing out allah is great etc- which is a muslim conversion quotation, which muslims take seriously when people utter or write those words, apologists like yourself apparently run to their aid defending their right to indoctrinate- Students have been taken to mosques and forced to recite the Shahada- which again, muslims take very seriously- -

There is nothing in that link about students forced to memorize beatitudes- and being asked questions about a religion is much much different than being forced to write out Shadaha- there was no ‘question asking who muslims think allah is’- only the requirement that students write out that allah is great- that is much much different than writing about a history of a religion and describing what adherents to a religion think- infact, here is the write up on the lesson differences:

“Penkoski also shared with Christian Post the packets on Christianity and Judaism passed out in class and allegedly modified from the original full version. While the packet on Islam contained verses from the Koran, the packets for those religions did not contain scripture and did not encourage students to write prayers or faith statements, he said.

“Notice no Bible verses, no reciting the Ten Commandments or the Lord’s Prayer,” he said.”

Here’s the link again- https://gellerreport.com/2018/05/wva-school-dawah.html/

There are several other cases where students were required to write out shahada or to participate in muslim activities in different schools around the country- again- the itnernet is a great thing for research- Here’s one link- there are more-

Here is another link to an explanation about how students were required to write out the statement of faith- the shahada- not in response to a question- but as an assignment- They were also required ot learn the 5 pillars of islam- The school in Tenn has since dropped the requirements because they knew they had crossed the line- kids in the class were even pressured into wearing a hajib and pose for a yearbook photo- in this particular case however, the requirement was for ‘practicing calligraphy’ - and again- if students had to ‘practice calligraphy’ with the Hebrew words fro something like “Christ is superior to any other religion’s false saviors, because He is the actual Son of the Living God of all creation, while all other supposed ‘saviors’ are completely human, who worship false gods- not the true God of creation. There is no God but Yahweh” there would be massive outrage- you and i both know there would be

“Here is another link to an explanation about how students were required to write out the statement of faith- the shahada- not in response to a question- but as an assignment- They were also required ot learn the 5 pillars of islam...”

And as I pointed out, the text in the link you provided asked for students to accept Jesus performed miracles and wanted them to give an explanation on why someone should convert to Christianity.

These are EXERCISES in comparative religion. NOT a demand anyone agree with anything.
