Conservative dad threatens ‘sh*tstorm’ if daughter’s world history class includes Islam

[rightwinger]

They are trying to turn his daughter into a Muslim

Any teaching about Islam outside of 9-11 is unwelcome in our schools

God bless the USA!

 

[Zmrzlina]

Is it any wonder why the US does not lead the world in education when parents try to shield their kids from topics in history or the sciences that they are ignorant of?

...Of which they are ignorant.




Just saying...



If you are going to accuse others of being ignorant, it is best if you try not to sound ignorant while doing so...

Could you explain the error in my word choice?

 

[Political Junky]

Teaching history is apparently wrong, at least according to the right wingers.

You got it, except for the history they have made up.

You have a dangling preposition: "that they are ignorant of"

Of is a preposition; you're not supposed to end a sentence with a preposition. Grammatically, the correct phrasing is 'Of which they are ignorant.'

But I've seen hjmick make grammatical errors too. Everyone makes them. Yours is not a big deal, and I am surprised someone made it one.

 

[Esmeralda]

Wait....HISTORY is now offensive to some conservatives?

Holy shit....I thought the bizarre anti-intellectualism of the fringe right had peaked with suspicion of Romney and Huntsman because they spoke foreign languages.

That's funny. Bush W. speaks Spanish, doesn't he?

I see it this way.
If your politics mean you have to deny history or facts, your politics are probably bullshit.

This is very good, indo. I'm impressed.

Conservative dad threatens ‘sh*tstorm’ if daughter’s world history class includes Islam

An angry father has been banned from a Maryland high school’s campus after he made vague but ominous threats against the school because his daughter’s history homework mentioned the Islamic faith.

BayNet.com reported that La Plata High School in Charles County, Maryland has issued a No Trespass order after parent Kevin Wood — a former U.S. Marine — called the school and threatened to disrupt classes if his daughter’s world history class continued to study the religion and its impact on human history.

Wood reportedly telephoned Vice Principal Shannon Morris last Thursday enraged over a homework assignment which dealt with the formation of Middle Eastern empires centuries ago. History teacher Katie O’Malley Simpson said that the history curriculum has never been considered controversial in the past.

It's got to be genetic, Conservative stupidity.

The history of Islam should be studied.

For the same reason Nazism and Leninism/Stalinism should be studied.

===============
what is there to study, everyone should already know by now that islam/muslimes are the worlds worst enemy, unless of course some people.., like libercrats, have been living in a rotten stump in a wilderness far, far away should know by now those people (?) and their fucking religion should be eradicated from the surface of the Earth !!

why do liberfools and dummycrats defend this we always hear from the leftwing of utter stupidity ????

Let's see, you want to wipe a religion from the face of the earth. Where have we heard this before? Perhaps just last century? Itr's interesting that you see Nazi values in line with your own.

Next, you ask why should we study Islam. Are your best decisions made before or after you have studied the situation? Is study too hard? Does study ask too many hard questions and use too many big words? If you answer yes, you fit right in with the education policies championed by the extreme far Right Wing. You want to make history into something it's not. I'm guessing that you would like to make science study into something it is not as well.

Willful ignorance, thy name is Conservatism.

Are you claiming the Nazis wanted to wipe out religion?

Did you and the rest of the folks who made dumb comments even read the thread or article, or are you just brain dead?

The guy is an idiot:

“I told her straight up ‘you could take that Muslim-loving piece of paper and shove it up your white [expletive],” Wood said on Monday. “If [students] can’t practice Christianity in school, they should not be allowed to practice Islam in school.”

Studying Islam is not "practicing Islam". What a dumb fuck.

Hmm. There's a history of liberals fetishizing Islam in ways that they never accept if it was Christianity. From California:

Thee U.S. Supreme Court rejected an appeal Monday by evangelical Christian students and their parents who said a Contra Costa County school district engaged in unconstitutional religious indoctrination when it taught students about Islam by having them recite language from prayers.

The court, without comment, left intact a ruling by the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco last November in favor of the Byron Union School District in eastern Contra Costa.

The suit challenged the content of a seventh-grade history course at Excelsior Middle School in Byron in the fall of 2001. The teacher, using an instructional guide, told students they would adopt roles as Muslims for three weeks to help them learn what Muslims believe.

She encouraged them to use Muslim names, recited prayers in class, had them memorize and recite a passage from the Quran and made them give up something for a day, such as television or candy, to simulate fasting during the month of Ramadan. The final exam asked students for a critique of elements of Muslim culture.

The students and parents who sued argued that the class activities had crossed the line from education into an official endorsement of a religious practice. A federal judge and the appeals court disagreed, saying the class had an instructional purpose and the students had engaged in no actual religious exercises.
​

Sure looks like religious indoctrination and practice to me.

Well, they certainly wanted to wipe out one religion, which is precisely what is said right here:

their fucking religion should be eradicated from the surface of the Earth !!

From the opening article you obviously didn't read...

"The particular unit in question at La Plata High School is on the formation of Middle Eastern empires in which students learned the basic concepts of the Islamic faith and how it, along with politics, culture, economics and geography, contributed to the development of the Middle East. Other religions are introduced when they influence or impact a particular historical era or geographic region. For example, when reviewing the Renaissance and Reformation, students study the concepts and role of Christianity. When learning about the development of China and India, students examine Hinduism and Buddhism."

I know that the World History books here in CA cover Judaism, Jesus, and Christianity.

True, I am not perfect and I make mistakes like everyone. What I do not do is make mistakes like that when calling other people ignorant or stupid...

For what it's worth, I often make grammatical errors for effect. Not always, but often...
