Excerpt:

One of the religious liberty cases the Supreme Court Justices won't be hearing this term is the issue of Maryland High School student Caleigh Wood, who refused to take part in a school assignment to write the Islamic conversion prayer that states “… there is no god but Allah,” because she believed it directly contradicted her Christian faith.

[. . .]

Thompson said that on top of getting an F in the class, Wood was also made to watch a pro-Islam “PowerPoint presentation that denigrated her religion and basically said that Christians are not as faithful as Muslims. So we strongly believed that this was a violation.”

Wrong.

“The Fourth Circuit held that the challenged coursework materials, viewed in the context in which they were presented, did not violate the student's First Amendment rights, because they did not impermissibly endorse any religion and did not compel the student to profess any belief. Accordingly, the court affirmed the district court's grant of summary judgment to defendants.”

Or keep ALL religion out of schools

 

[Ringtone]

Wrong.

Wrong.

The government has no business under natural and constitutional law to impose any regime of academics on the people, lefty, let alone interpret what does and does not constitute religious imposition for the individual. The public education system in the absence of universal school choice is in and of itself unconstitutional.

There is another choice besides public school...

Was this young person asked to convert while in school? If she is a Christian she should know all about Islam they sprang from the same fountain that is Judaism. Jews Muslims and Christians all disavow each other while worshipping the same God. I'm really impressed …. Not

The curriculum of public education constitutuonaly can only be incorporated without religious content.

 

[Syriusly]

Wrong.

Where does it say that in the Constitution?

 

[Syriusly]

Not exactly correct.

It can instruct what the religions are, the history of religions- but they can't promote or denigrate any religion.

School choice is an excellent idea. Public schools should be able to choose their students just like private schools get to.

Trump needs to eradicate the Department of Education

 

[Ringtone]

Where does it say that in the Constitution?

Only a leftist would ask that question. Only a leftist would fail to understand the pertinent imperatives of natural and constitutional law and the actualities of the real world. Institutions of education most especially do not exist in ideological vacuums, and one size does not fit all.

How do you figure the divinity and theology of the Bible is the same as those of the Qur'an?

 

[Ringtone]

For whom? The wealthy? Where is that in the Constitution? Where in the Constitution do you find the notion that only the wealthy are guaranteed ideological liberty and free association? Where in the Constitutional does it say that only the parental consent and authority of the wealthy is protected because they have fatter wallets?

 

[Ringtone]

Not exactly correct.

It can instruct what the religions are, the history of religions- but they can't promote or denigrate any religion.

What are you talking about, lefty? The state schools have been imposing the degeneracy of your religion for decades!

BS ^^^^^ the best answer is equal treatment of muslim students-----ie--force them to acknowledge the divinity of JESUS CHRIST.....of flunk out

 

[Lysistrata]

The best that I can glean from the internet is that this girl was in a world history class and couldn't fill in the blank on a quiz about what Muslims believe. I seriously doubt that this was any attempt to impose anyone's beliefs on anyone else. I wish the course curriculum was available, but the Fourth Circuit apparently did review it. There is no information on what other faiths were studied in this class, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, etc.

It is a major mistake, which keeps being repeated over and over again, to confuse "promotion" of a certain idea, person, whatever, with a simple statement that such a thing exists and a person should have a certain level of familiarity with it as part of a well-rounded education.

It is ironic that some people complain about the "promotion" of a particular religion and then turn around and complain that their own particular religion is not being promoted.

The public-school system is being provided by the taxpayers as a gift to all children and parents, regardless of background or faith. It is ridiculous to expect that taxpayers then foot the bill as well for all of those who do not like what is being offered to them for free and demand their own alternatives.

you think? you actually believe that it was a "fill in the blank" and some insane
person considered it a promotion of a religion?

Awesome. So in the month of December when I give my room over to all holiday music my case got even stronger. That includes, of course, Silent Night, which has no overt confession of faith, and has strong cultural background.

And none of you better holler or cry about it either.
