[GarfieldJL]

Apparently Common Core vocab lesson plans discuss Muhammad in a positive light, while forbidding the discussion of other religions.

In Canadian High Schools we learn about many different faiths in a neutral manner. We learn about Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam and Christianity.

For whatever reason we do not consider it a threat to learn that other ways of life and religion exist without demonizing their adherents.

It works for us, you should try it.

If you read the article, you'd find they are only promoting 1 religion, they are not even discussing any other religion.

The complaint is not that we learn about Islam, the complaint is that the discussing, learning about all other religions, specifically, Chritianity, is prohibited.

That is a much better than to get just Islam, for sure.

From the articles…

“I asked the school district to provide me with a copy of vocabulary worksheets that promoted the Jewish, Hindu and Christian faiths.

The school district did not reply.

I also asked for the past or future dates when the students would be given those vocabulary worksheets.

The school district has yet to reply.”

And…

Starnes said he followed up by requesting copies of worksheets that promoted the Jewish, Hindu and Christian faiths. The school district did not respond. He also asked for past or future dates when students would receive the handouts. Again, the district failed to respond.

I think that about covers it.

“It really caught me off guard,” a Farmville Central High School student who was in the class told me. “If we are not allowed to talk about any other religions in school – how is this appropriate?”

Schools are allowed to talk about religion though it's just supposed to be neutral.

Considering other people have shown your accusation is without merit, would you care to retract YOUR comment.

You talking about the comment from an unknown high school student?

Is that what you consider evidence?

The school not replying is not evidence.


LOL

Now you're trying to move the goal post.

There is no solid evidence anywhere in there.

 

[Bedford]

Wrong again.


Do you have any real evidence to back your statement?

 

[GarfieldJL]

There is no solid evidence anywhere in there.

The fact the school couldn't produce the requested materials is evidence. This scandal would have gone away if they had similar coursework involving other religions, but they can't produce what currently doesn't exist.

The school did not produce. Refusing to provide information is not proof of guilt.

It isn't a scandal.

 

[GarfieldJL]

We have the evidence of them promoting Islam, if they could produce similar educational material involving other religions then this would go away. The fact they are unable to do so, speaks volumes.

It isn't a scandal.

It looks like it'd only be a scandal in your mind if they were promoting Christianity.

 

[Vylo]

They asked you for evidence. Lack of a response isn't evidence. That's pretty much the opposite of evidence.

So you're admitting that the school is promoting Islam in violation of the 1st Amendment?

BTW, the quoted text is not promoting Islam.
