when you let one religion into school the door remains open for the rest to follow.
we must also remember that satainism is a recognized religion.
just saying you should be careful what you wish for.

My opinion is that if some of the Textbooks “embrace or embellish” Islamic values, then they are not appropiate in our classrooms . Textbooks, especially those of Religion, must present an objective view of any religion. Textbooks are suppose to inform, educate, present religion the way it is informative, with not intentions to influence children’s minds.
In regards to groups selecting all textbooks, I believe that it is better to have a small group of people, let’s say, experts on religion or social studies volunteers, rather than a big group of citizens that would be reviewing publicly some school’s books, just to fill a political agenda and not having any knowledge on the subject.
School districts can select their own experts to avoid undemocratic criticism but reviewing books must be done by people who know about different religions and know the differences between educational purposes versus indoctrination of our children.

Yes indeed, we must be extremely careful with all Islamic teachings because from the Koran teachings and the fundamental extremists , according to their own book, there is not much a define line of certainty. We’ll be allowing the teaching of a religion that has a double meaning at the core of their own book of Islamic teachings. Furthermore, we’ll be allowing indoctrination of our own children in our own backyard and at the cost of our own taxpayers.
I agree with a small group of educated people to review textbooks in our school’s system.

to MMM…..there has been prayer in schools in the last 45 yrs. Where did you get that idea?…
I agree that it definately should be taught at home more than anywhere else, but nothing wrong with letting the ones who believe have prayer in school. Why should the ones who don’t want it dictate to the ones who do. It shouldn’t be all about the ones who don’t want it…
You are right Lulu…

REGARDING:
“(Have you ever read the Southern Baptist Conventions bylaws? ”

http://www.sbc.net/aboutus/legal/bylaws.asp” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>http://www.sbc.net/aboutus/legal/bylaws.asp

The Bylaws govern how the Convention will conduct business while the messengers are convened. The Convention has no power over the churches. The messengers have no power other than to carry message, speak for their individual churches.

How does that translate into Shariia law? Have they started lopping off hands and ordering gang rape of relatives while I wasn’t looking?

When the collaspe comes, this will be so very easy to sort out. I am a Babtist MMM and I do not want to attack you. I can tell by your comments, that moving here has been difficult for you. America is a large nation, when it is divided up, I am sure there will be a place for non belivers and a place for those who love the lord.

Nice comments, except that you are all worked up about nothing. At least based on the story. The Citizens for National Security offer no examples of this being true. I am more worried about Baptists trying to shove there weird and almost Shariac beliefs down the throats of my childrens. (Have you ever read the Southern Babptist Conventions bylaws? How about the John Brch Society) And before you go trying to attack me as a liberla or heathen, all three of my children attended a private religous school through 8th grade and then moved into the public school system. Want to teach religion to students? Teach them at religon HOME and church, and/or send them to a private institution. And there hasn’t been prayer in schools at least 45 years and even then it was not taught in most public schools.
