So, it looks like those damn liberals are at it again! A poor, misunderstood Christian has been banned from coming onto the commie, Muslim loving school campus, for doing nothing more than standing up for his religious freedoms!

Now, since some people on this forum immediately dismiss any piece that comes from admittedly Left-leaning sites such as Politicus, because such left-leaning sites are "nothing more than hate sites against the Right" - which is really ironic, since a lot of those same objectors have no problem with pieces from The Blaze, or Brietbart - I thought I would go ahead, and include the original story from Baynet.com, so everyone would know, the story wasn't just "made up".
With that in mind, can someone please tell me when teaching the cultural impact of a religion became synonymous with "teaching the religion"? I'll bet that teaching about the Inquisition, Salem, and the Crusades is actually about teaching a "religious agenda" too, isn't it?
The man, Kevin Wood, was driven into a rage when his eleventh-grade daughter came home from school with a world history assignment on Islam and its influence in the Middle East. Wood called the school enraged and threatened to disrupt classes if his daughter’s world history class continued to study the religion and its impact on human history. The history assignment dealt with the formation of Middle Eastern empires centuries ago, and both the history teacher and school vice principle told Wood the history curriculum has never been considered controversial in the past and that “the assignment has been given for years.”
Undaunted, and still in a religious rage, Wood promised to come to the school if Islam was mentioned any further and threatened to “bring down a shit-storm on them like they’ve never seen.” He also said that if his “daughter can’t practice Christianity in school, they can’t practice Islam in school.” Then he boasted to reporters that he told the history teacher “you could take that Muslim-loving piece of paper and shove it up your white [expletive]” because “the school is violating his daughter’s constitutional rights.”
Mrs, Woods agrees with her husband, and "...complained that “We cannot discuss our Ten Commandments in school, but they can discuss Islam’s Five Pillars? We don’t force our religious views on them, so don’t force your religious views on me.” The curriculum includes the impact and history of all the world’s major religions, particularly the Christian religion, but the Woods were convinced that Islam got priority over Judaism and Christianity."Undaunted, and still in a religious rage, Wood promised to come to the school if Islam was mentioned any further and threatened to “bring down a shit-storm on them like they’ve never seen.” He also said that if his “daughter can’t practice Christianity in school, they can’t practice Islam in school.” Then he boasted to reporters that he told the history teacher “you could take that Muslim-loving piece of paper and shove it up your white [expletive]” because “the school is violating his daughter’s constitutional rights.”
