I never saw it. Was it me you asked?

Yes, it was you I asked. Thank you for answering it now. At least your position is consistent: if a school board in a majority-Islamic area voted to start teaching Islam in the public schools (the religious part, not the jihad part), you'd just accept it as the price of freedom of religion. For me, I'd expect the Christian parents to sue (and the ACLU to support them), and I'd wish them success.

Try again. The question was about if I objected to teacher led prayer and Koran reading in schools, not about teaching Islam in public schools. That's misrepresenting what I said, IOW, you lied about what I said.

BTW, for the record, Islam contains both the OT and NT as part of their religion. The Koran is added to it.

So, Bible reading and prayer, especially if the Bible reading is restricted to the Old Testament, should offend no one out of the three largest religious groups represented in the United States; that is Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

I can't imagine accepting the support of the Communist ACLU under any circumstances. The best solution (as someone else pointed out above) is to let the education money follow the child. If a parent wants to use their educational dollars to send their kid to Muslim school, so be it. If the parent wants to send their kid to a Christian school, so be it. If the parent wants to send their student to a Temple of Darwin school, so be it. But as it stands now, virtually all public schools are being used to proselytize on behalf of the Temple of Darwin. This has to stop.
