American children will praise Allah

What would you teach them about mohammud?
Well, see I myself am ignorant, so I don't know. Just that he was the founder of the religion, that he claimed to be a prophet, that he is considered to have performed miracles, that he is considered the Great Prophet and that he conquered some land and there is controversy about who his successor is as the leader of Islam which caused the Sunni Shia split.
Ah, so a whitewash, in other words - you'd propagandise for Islam.
Nah, can't trust teachers to teach the truth about Islam. Keep it out of schools.
What's the "truth"? That he's a murderer and child molester and so all Muslims are evil? Is that the propaganda you want taught? Fundy?

where did anyone suggest that just because muhummad was a murderer, thief and rapist -----that fact makes "ALL MUSLIMS" murderers thieves, and rapists?
If they worship a man who is legitimately defined by those terms, are they not evil regardless of whether they themselves do those things?

In teaching about Christianity and Judaism, would you emphasize that God ordered the massacre of non-believing cultures? Of course you wouldn't, fundy.

To Muslims, Mohammed is not defined as a rapist and murderer, so that is not what you would emphasize about Mohammed when you are teaching about Islamic culture.

In history, it is appropriate to go into more detail about what exactly early Muslims did.
If You value truth you should not be complicit in hiding the truth about Islams origins.

your post makes little sense. Hindus worship a "god" "KRISHNAH" who---as the story goes-------like to steal butter from his mother. That is the story------I see no reason to MOCK HINDUS for that story or any reason to mock muslims in school for the fact that muhummad was a prolific murderer and rapist. BTW---neither Christians nor Jews were ordered to destroy pagan cultures according to
the writings of the bibles. I see no reason to TEACH BASIC ISLAMIC BELIEFS
in school other than to note------"this is a basic Islamic belief" without doing
the ELABORATE CALLIGRAPHY or repeating its prayers
Oh, yes the Jews were most certainly ordered to put to death all people in the neighboring cultures because such people's beliefs and practices were leading Jews astray.

Your solution seems to be to teach the children NOTHING about world religions, which would be a good way to keep them ignorant about the people and cultures of non western societies. That would be a mistake.

You feel free to teach your fundy children exactly that about Islam. I would leave out no facts. Yes, he killed, yes he had multiple wives. Having multiple young wives was part of the culture back then.

When teaching about the Middle East I would have no qualms in teaching the children the way the culture there does not treat women as equals, and that women's rights are lacking in many of the religious countries. How else can you explain that women there cover themselves head to toe. It's part of learning about that culture to learn things we find distasteful.

But I'm not about simply hashing Islam with simple propaganda statements like what you fundies want "Mohammed was a child molester and murderer ".

have you encountered anyone who has INSISTED that USA school curriculum include a teaching 'MUHUMMAD WAS A CHILD MOLESTER AND MURDERER"???? I have not. I can discuss the school curriculum of some
muslim states-----regarding Christianity, Judaism and Hinduism
Yes, Tilly in this thread advocated that. I don't know why you'd suggest whether or not American education should resemble the education system of "Muslim states". That seems kind of a non-issue.
You seem to have comprehension problems. I've repeatedly told you I don't want Islam in schools, and I asked you, since you do, what would you teach about Muhammad, of course you had to whitewash him. I don't think that is at all a moral or helpful approach.

It's not my fault mo married a 6 yr old, had sex with her when she was 9, nor that he was a murderous warmonger, thief, rapist and slaver. I happen to believe truth is important, and the truth about Islam is so ugly I wouldn't be teaching young children about it, neither should schools be.
In geography, the emphasis is on the practice of Muslims today, in which you would reach what they believe about Mohammed. The gory details of history are more appropriate for a history course.
Islam has no place in our schools, particularly if it's going to be sugar coated.

Again, your fundy truth is a propaganda of hatred. IN geography, the subject is the people of the Middle East today. You learn enough about their history and beliefs to understand them. They do not consider Mohammed a rapist, child molestor, murderer, and thief. So that is not appropriate in learning about them. However, the treatment of women there today traces it's roots back to history and religuon, and so there is no need to hide facts there.

You want propaganda statements taught.

I want facts taught as relevant to understanding Middle EasterN culture today.

When the subject is history, then the focus is more in historical details.

You simply do not understand education and learning.

I consider it an issue. I do believe that American children--------when a bit mature---like high school level-------have a right to know the kind of propaganda that muslim kids are TAUGHT in their schools, mosques and homes. I have actual reasons. My very own kid----
was paired with a PAKISTANI in chemistry lab. ---high school Several times per week he came home saying "you won't believe what SIDDIQUE told me today"-----and a few other unfortunate incidents-------like Siddique yelling 'HINDUISM IS NOT A RELIGION'---------in the vicinity of a hindu girl. My kid
was horrified. Kids in high school have a right to know what they are UP AGAINST so they can deal with it.

So you do want them to learn about Muslims, but only to learn to hate and fear Muslims. You don't want kids to learn what Muslims believe themselves, but you want them to learn only that Muslims hate all non Muslims and therefore Muslims are evil.
 
There was a similar, well pretty much identical happening in Tennessee, of course the parents were very upset there also, gosh I wonder why? :rolleyes-41:

Notice that the Shahada is the EXACT Islamic creed found on the black flags of both Al-Qaeda and ISIL/ISIS/Daesh....and THIS is what they have CHRISTIAN schoolchildren copying? Trying to convert Christian children to Islam....REMOVE ALL the teachers, fuck the teaching unions....in fact, this is a great incentive for parents to just Home School, get the children out of the Cultural Marxism-cum-Islamic Cesspool.


VIRGINIA Schools closed after parental outrage over an Islamic declaration of faith homework assignment

Snip:

"After a teacher at a Virginia high school handed out a bizarre ‘geography’ homework assignment that asked students to practice calligraphy using an Islamic religious creed (Shahada), such an angry backlash flooded in that it prompted officials to close every single school in the county as a safety precaution.

When the world geography class at Riverheads High School in Staunton rolled around to the subject of major world religions, homework on Islam asked students to copy religious calligraphy. It read:


“Here is the shahada, the Islamic statement of faith and devotion to Islam, written in Arabic. In the space below, try copying it by hand. This should give you an idea of the artistic complexity of calligraphy.”

The illustrative classical Arabic phrase was the basic statement in Islam. It translated to: “There is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is the messenger of Allah.”


When students took it home, it was like a spark hitting a powder keg. Some of their parents saw the homework as an attempt to convert their children to Islam.

Calls and emails flooded the school. Some of them demanded the teacher be fired for assigning it."

Now those red necks know how us atheists feel. Finally they get what freedom from religion is all about.

Yes, it is your right. So keep them out of public school as you have. Otherwise, it is not a violation of the law to teach about religion, so if the board of education decides it should be in the curriculum, tough shit for you.
