A few of my classes have one or two Muslim students in them, so we had a little mini Feast of Eid in one class today.
I tried my hand at preparing a few traditional dishes (and a few store-bought ones). I think the students appreciated a little recognition (in most classes they are very much in the minority), and the other students got to try some foods they'd never had before.
Don't be silly. I am as conservative as it gets and I love Middle Eastern food and treasured the time I spent learning about Muslim culture. Ditto with the Jewish people I've known. And I was married to an American of Japanese descent whose Issei and Nissei parents kept us happily surrounded by Japanese culture.Now just sit back and wait for the boards reactionary right to blow their top and come in like jackals to rend and tear at you.
What is fucking wrong with you ? Why do you hate America ?
Do you know any Muslims?there will always be people, American left, ingratiating themselves to muslims.
I wont tear into the teacherNow just sit back and wait for the boards reactionary right to blow their top and come in like jackals to rend and tear at you.
I think what you did was very kind.Bringing some food for my students once in a while is not "religious instruction."
And in my experience, the leftists are phony and obsequious in their relationships with Muslims, as much as they are in their relationships with American blacks.there will always be people, American left, ingratiating themselves to muslims.
Who says they aren't comfortable with American culture or are you claiming only you and those who think like you can say what American culture is?I wont tear into the teacher
He cant have much ass to tear into at this point
But why emphasize differences?
Better to make the muslims for comfortable with American culture

No you are not as conservative as it gets, you're not part of the extreme right who I was referring to.Don't be silly.

Are right wingers supposed to eschew everything that is not American culture, in your opinion? Don't you dare eat Italian food. Ditto anything Mexican. I even like Ethiopian food.
Posters here will disagree with you.No you are not as conservative as it gets, you're not part of the extreme right who I was referring to.
Yup, the tribalists can't see past their own noses.Posters here will disagree with you.
If they are fully melted into the pot already then there is no reason to promote muslim differencesWho says they aren't comfortable with American culture or are you claiming only you and those who think like you can say what American culture is?
What he did was harmless and got all the kids in the class involved. It was a good teaching moment.
If I was to view it in a black and white, ether or mentality then I would have to agree with you, luckily I do not. It was an inclusion lesson not a separation lesson as you choose to believe. Try not being tribalistic all the time.If they are fully melted into the pot already then there is no reason to promote muslim differences
But I suspect the teacher wants a smorgasbord of differences that undermines American culture
I dont think Americans have to be herded to a buffet table and told to “Try it, you’ll like it” even if they are children under the influence of a teacher with a political agendaIf I was to view it in a black and white, ether or mentality then I would have to agree with you, luckily I do not. It was an inclusion lesson not a separation lesson as you choose to believe. Try not being tribalistic all the time.
