If they are so concerned with Arabic culture they have plenty of Islamic poetry to choose from.What does "See spot run" have to do with Arab culture?Learning the content of the Lord's Prayer in an educational context has nor been banned. Reciting it has, because that has no secular, educational purpose but is religious praying.What would be the educational purpose of writing "Jesus is the true savior"? The educational purpose of this exercise was to appreciate the artistry of the calligraphy.Bottom line: The left sees no problem with this but the moment students were instructed to write Jesus is the true savior watch them go rabid. They can deny it all day long but I know better. Liberals are hypocrites
I would have no problem with kids learning the content of the Hail Mary, the Lord's Prayer, or the Nicene Creed in order to learn about Christianity, but I see no educational purpose to writing down "Jesus is the true savior".
one need not write out ALLAH IS THE GREATEST and THE ONE AND ONLY GOD in Arabic to be acquainted with CALLIGRAPHY-------In fact Arabic calligraphy is a NEW COMER to the world of Calligraphy and, THEREFORE, such a lesson is misleading. I would not be keen on HAIL MARY as a fifth grade
lesson either. OR the Nicene creed. ----as in "write it out three times"
The Lord's Prayer has been banned already. As a kid I said it every morning----but it is now gone. -----a story-----in the first grade the kid who sat next to me----
to my unending exasperation------used to say "HOLLOWED BE THY NAME"
instead of "HALLOWED......" 'that's how meaningless the prayer was to
lots of kids. The prayer itself is kinda non-sectarian in a land of Christians and
jews-------but it is unfair to hindus------and to Sioux indians
This was not a calligraphy lesson, it was a World Geography lesson in the Middle Eastern section. They were learning about Arab culture, which includes "gasp" Islamic calligraphy!
They should have used calligraphy that said "see Spot run". They wouldn't have a mess on their hands if they had of
You rubes have been throwing a lot of hypothetical at me to test me. Let's see how you do ...
Do you have a problem with kids learning the 5 pillars of Islam in World Geography?
