Let's be careful here, and make sure that the right thing is being argued.
Sounds to me from the story that the problem is that they're blocking traffic in a high-traffic area. If that's all this is, they should be more reasonable.

I am sure they will receive the same treatment from the media that the Imams received after attempting to "pray in public" on the airline... while talking about Osama bin Laden, moving into the "9/11 formation" and bashing Bush.

the principal continued, "however next week is "tolerance week" and we fully expect each student to dress as muslims and attendance at the "islam is a religion of peace" seminar is required. all students will be required to take muslim names and a study of the koran will be added to the first period "introduction to home economics" class..(do I even need a sarc/ tag??)

Not so fast. It sounds as if they were asked to have their meetings in a room and refused to do it. The school has a right to say where they can meet.

I think they should have accepted the private room if their prayer was disrupting student traffic flow. Would those who support this support Muslim prayer rugs in the commons area too? I don't hold to the notion that any religious group should have the right to disrupt the normal operations of a secular organization, including the schools. This sounds like the kids were trying to be confrontational, or in-your-face about their prayer. My kids prayed with fellow students before high school too, but at their church an hour before school started. Were they truly seeking God's blessings or were they trying to make a political statement?

...I would usually agree with your statement. However, the fact remains that there is and has been a double standard in regard to Christians vs Muslims. Several have already commented on what the treatment would be if these were Muslims chanting and praying. If so, this would be a non story. Instead, it's a group of Christians, and as we all know, it's easy to bash and push around a group of Christians. It's the "progressive" thing to do. I encourage all freepers to e-mail the principal with their thoughts.

An assistant superintendent at the school said the students were given suspensions for refusing to obey a faculty directive not to block traffic in the public area. "No one gets suspended because they pray. This is a story of some kids who chose to defy a legitimate request by administrators to not disrupt other students," Bill Bentley said. Administrators had offered a classroom for the students' use, to ensure other students were not offended and the group did not obstruct traffic.

Aaaaaah the redundancy.
I keep shouting from the rooftops that if people love their children they will teach them themselves and put an end to public funded education. Until this concept is adopted and becomes a reality I will no longer be surprised by the leftist, anti-American, anti-Christian, bureaucratic progressives in the public school system running roughshod over your children.

You forgot that all day long the school shall be under Muslim law and any girl that is alone with a boy for any amount of time will be sentenced to 90 lashes.
I mean, if they are going to be diverse, they have to follow the culture exactly. Am I right? No learning for the girls that day and if any girl shows her belly with a short shirt she is to be jailed indefinitely.

They get expelled from a public school, is that a really punishment or is it a reward?
To: csistrueblue
So, what's everyone's best guess as to when the Christians start to be fed to lions?
It's amazing to see the anti-Christian hatred growing daily, right before our eyes.
