Bottom line, the Tea Party wants Christianity taught in schools. That’s what they are after.[/quote]
Your liberal friends in the CA school system want to teach Islam in school. Do you have a problem with this?[/quote]
I don’t usually comment on this particular comment subject I kinda like the idea of bigots going ape shit when their hypocrisy is layed out for all to see. But the truth is, I hang out with a lot of liberals, both in real life and on liberal blogs and I’ve never seen any support for the teaching of Islam in public schools, other than as part of a comprehensive comparative religion curriculum, or as an integral part of world history or current events. I certainly don’t approve of the methods outlined in the links you provided, and I don’t know of any liberals that do.
Just as, looking back, I don’t approve of saying the lords prayer every day in school, as was done in my classes in elementary school. Or the strong focus of teaching about Christmas when my kids were in elementary school, with the exclusion of instruction about comparable celebrations of other world religions.
If these classes on Islam are as portrayed (which I am certainly not disputing), it is not as part of a far reaching liberal ideology, but rather misguided teachers and administrators using highly inappropriate methods of instruction for a subject that does warrant coverage in a different manner.
For what it’s worth, I am one liberal athiest who supports your opposition. That doesn’t diminish, in any way, the value of the assertion that there are many on the right who want Christianity taught in our public schools. Both are equally inappropriate.
