Here’s anther reason to guard your children from the formation in the public schools. Michelle Malkin has a post concerning the pandering to Muslims in the public schools while continuing to attempt to deny Christians prayer in school.
Compare and contrast…
In Dallas, a school district strikes the words “In God We Trust” from the photo of an enlarged nickel on a yearbook cover for fear of offending students of differing religions.
In California, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (the one that outlawed the Pledge of Allegiance for its reference to God) approved putting public school students through Muslim role-playing exercises. Investor’s Business Daily reminds us:
In a recent federal decision that got surprisingly little press, even from conservative talk radio, California’s 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled it’s OK to put public-school kids through Muslim role-playing exercises, including:
Reciting aloud Muslim prayers that begin with “In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful . . . .”
Memorizing the Muslim profession of faith: “Allah is the only true God and Muhammad is his messenger.”
Chanting “Praise be to Allah” in response to teacher prompts.
Professing as “true” the Muslim belief that “The Holy Quran is God’s word.”
Giving up candy and TV to demonstrate Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting.
Designing prayer rugs, taking an Arabic name and essentially “becoming a Muslim” for two full weeks.
Meanwhile, creeping sharia in the public schools continues apace. Seattle is preparing to consider a proposal to accomodate Muslim student prayers.
Again I say, this is what comes from liberal ideology. Liberals have this notion that if something makes them feel good (and pandering to Muslims which liberals consider an oppressed minority like women, blacks, Hispanics, homosexuals, etc. makes libs feel real good) then it must be the right thing to do. How can there be a “strict wall of separation” which the libs like to constantly remind us of and still they support very bad ideas like the ones above? I know that somehow this makes sense in the liberals’ parallel universe.
