They've observed the same inconsistency at American universities.

And in American public schools as well.

From the article:

Seventh graders in a growing number of public schools, who are not permitted to wear a cross or speak the name of Jesus, are being required to attend an intensive three-week course on Islam - a course in which students are mandated to learn the tenets of Islam, study the important figures of the faith, wear a robe, adopt a Muslim name and stage their own Jihad.

In Byron, Calif., parents were outraged when students came home with handouts and were told what was being taught. Their complaints to the school principal not only were ignored, but officials of this public school, funded by tax dollars, essentially fluffed them off.

The public schools in California so stealthily slipped this course into the 7th grade curriculum that even another 7th grade teacher, Elizabeth Christina Lemings, was totally in the dark that this was being taught until her son, Joseph, who is a 7th grader in the same school where she teaches, brought home the handouts.

There is a case in Minnesota where a kid had a t-shirt that said, "STRAIGHT PRIDE" and he was sent home. The case is going to court.

So yes, you can't offend anyone and if you are a Christian you have to hide it.
