Jack Fate, don't sign the permission slip, keep your offspring home, and shut up.
I believe it would be a safe bet that there was nothing on the permission slip about the children participating in a Muslim prayer.

Let's hear the outrage from the liberals.
American Thinker Blog: Public school children forced to pray to Allah
I would be suing the last penny out of that school district if my child had been on the field trip. Teaching culture is one thing, teaching religion is a different matter.
I love the subtle brainwashing. Notice that the girls are segregated out.
All you would had to do is, not sign the permission slip.
I see nothing wrong with it.
Looks like the children had a good time.
And you know what I could have done, if I didn't want my child to go? Not sign the permission slip.
And I wouldn't have cared, just like my parents didn't care when we did the same thing when learning about the Native American culture, or the Japanese culture in school. At the Japanese culture center, we even learned some of their religious practices. YOu guys act like the school forced the parents to sign the permission slip or bring their children to school that day.
Were you asked to pray to their ancestors? No, I thought not. The trip was a lie from start to finish. It was to teach them about culture but instead they were lied to about history and then forced to separate where the boys were invited to pray but the girls were not.....The permission slip was a LIE!!! How many parents do you think would have signed it if the truth were revealed ahead of time? If they were told that the kids would be told that women had the right to vote under Islam but not under our forefathers? (a lie) If they were told that the boys would be encouraged to pray with the Muslim men while the girls would be separated?
I would have no problem with my child going to a Mosque to see the architecture, to learn about their culture, but this was not that...watch the video...
How do you know? The article for one was biased, and didn't go into what the parents were told. Did you see the permission slip? When you find a statement from the parents, let me know.
I can't believe they made it out of the mosque without being beheaded!!!
Ravi-No savvy,
The sarcasm notwithstanding, the kids are being "beheaded" in the sense that they are being BRINWASHED to the point that if they won't be able to freely use their brains. being INDOCRINATED, intellectually speaking......THEY MIGHT AS WELL BE BEHEADED....you fucking Obamarrhoidal LIEbturd Swine.
You, and your ilk, are part of the LIEberrhoid ROT which is destroying America.
YOU ARE THE ENEMY WITHIN.....that is if you are an American citizen.
Your kind of ROT is the ROT most responsible for the destruction of civilizations other than Wars of Annihilation, ex: Genghiz Khan.
Yo.....Ain't Got A Ma.........maybe YOUR unformed brain would be "brainwashed" by an afternoon touring a mosque, but most elementary school kids are smarter than that.
Based on the screeds you keep posting here, you're barely above retarded. I bet you went to family reunions to meet women, didn't ya?
Hmmm...The Paranoia is strong in this one.It would be interesting to see what the permission slip said. Maybe the school got around the Establishment Clause by saying this was a "cultural education". Shady. I could see it for Comparative Religion 101 at University of X, but for an elementary class? Huh?
There seems to be a blur between cultural and religious. That line should be made clear, so the parents can make an informed decision before signing the permission slip.
I'm not a parent yet. But if I was, and little silky was in this type of situation, I'd call the teacher and ask for the details and what the exact itinerary was going to be. Then I'd tell my kid to ask lots of questions. When the lil shit got back home, I'd ask how the day went and what s/he learned and liked and didn't like. It would be a good chance to see how they saw it, since that's the most important thing, and then straighten out any misunderstandings. I'm the parent.
And hopefully I'd be a good enough parent that I would be more influential to little silky than a few hours at a mosque or church or whatever.
I would not, repeat, would not spray the kid down with a pressure washer.
every couple days I ask my stepson about random events and things just to make sure there is no secret indoctrination going in by members of my family or at his school etc
WTF? Children learning about different cultures. The humanity.
I would also like to see where the children were forced. I am also sure their parents had to sign permission slips.
I wonder what your reaction would be had the students been taken to a Christian church, lied to about history and then separated by sex and participated in prayer.....
And you know what I could have done, if I didn't want my child to go? Not sign the permission slip.
And I wouldn't have cared, just like my parents didn't care when we did the same thing when learning about the Native American culture, or the Japanese culture in school. At the Japanese culture center, we even learned some of their religious practices. YOu guys act like the school forced the parents to sign the permission slip or bring their children to school that day.
So with a grand statement like that.Jack Fate, don't sign the permission slip, keep your offspring home, and shut up.
Nope. I pay taxes. I'm an American.
Are we supposed to bow down to you or something?
Wong said the mosque visit took place as part of the sixth grade social studies course, ‘‘Enduring Beliefs in the World Today,’’ which includes segments on Judaism, Hinduism, Christianity, and Islam. As part of the class, students also visit a synagogue, a gospel musical performance, and meet with Hindu religious representatives, she said.
No one at the mosque asked the Wellesley students to participate in the prayers, said Bilal Kaleem, president of the Muslim American Society of Boston, which manages and runs the cultural center.
Not according to the video. The female chaperons and the girls were asked to leave the prayer room, and the boys were asked to stay. "Apparently, while we weren't looking, the boys were asked to join in the prayer, and some of them did."
believe what you want.
the video that was produced by a group that opposed the mosque, or the guy that runs the mosque.
frankly, i've got better things to worry about.
if this was such a HUGE issue, how come no one said a word in may, when it happened? not. a. fucking. word.
have a nice day

Then this school has a religious crucifiable. Plain and simple.
Studying the Indian culture can be done without studying hindu
Studying Arab culture can be done without studying islam
Studying European culture can be done without studding christianity.
Studying the Jewish culture can be done without studying hebew.
No...studying religion as a cultural issue has never been illegal. You just don't like it when the culture studied is one you fear.mmmmmmmmmm....damn this thread went viral.
I have to admit to being confused. Rightwingloons want God back in the classroom...well here he is, using the name of Allah.
All or nothing kids, you wished for something you didn't want.
Nope. It's against the law.
