Some teachers dropped the Holocaust completely from lessons because of fears that Muslim pupils might express anti-Semitic reactions. One school avoided teaching the Crusades because its "balanced" handling of the topic would directly contradict what was taught in local mosques.The students may be getting a substandard education, but the teachers are learning their lessons very well.

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Lordy, the leftists are really, *really* jonesing for seats in the mezzanine of the Infidel Death Chamber.
ReplyDeleteOkay, that's stupid. Just because it's not what's taught in Mosques doesn't mean that it shouldn't be taught in schools.
ReplyDeleteThat'd be like not teaching about the theories of evolution and geology of early Earth because it conflicts with the gibbery-joo (entertaining gibbery-joo, but gibbery-joo nonetheless) that Christians are taught in church. And that would be silly.
(But not as silly as the word "gibbery-joo". Damn, that word's hilarious)
