Education in America isn’t too kind to Christianity. In fact, I remember hearing about a certain school district that was teaching its students about religions and skipped over Christianity entirely.
You know, because Christians haven’t contributed to the world for the better, or something.
In a bit of good news, a middle school in Ohio is allowing their students to opt out of a lesson on Islam if their parents agree to it.
The absolute last thing we need Generation Z to learn about would be the Koran.
From TR:
Ohio middle schoolers are being allowed to opt out of taking a social studies lesson on Islam if their parents make the request.
The school’s superintendent told Buzzfeed that he made the decision “due to a number of anti-Muslim incidents, seventh graders may opt out of a small part of the state’s social studies curriculum.”
The superintendent, Keith Horner, insisted that he is not recommending this option to students, but will leave it up to the parents. The focus of the lesson is said to be on the Islamic achievements in medicine, science, and mathematics and its domination after the decline of the Roman Empire.
Like clock work, liberals freaked out…
“They aren’t trying to convert the children they are giving a history lesson just like they would about the Christian, Jewish, Catholic and so many other religions that are out there. We need to stop being so hateful towards people just because they don’t share our same looks, beliefs, traditions, cultures or even views in life. We can not re-write history. Opting out of taking a history lesson on the Islamic Religion will only make you child just as ignorant as you. We are trying to create a better future not hold our children back!”
Another…
“Oh god…white people have got to stop.”
And another…
“OMG….this has all gotten so blown out of proportion…if the can “opt out” of learning about Islam then what is next…opting out of whatever parents find offensive? Buddhism, communism, socialism, Judaism, etc…we are now on a further path on raising uninformed illiterate children! So very disheartening and sad. As a history teacher…all I can say is thank goodness I don’t teach anymore…especially in Ohio!”
Bunch of whiners.
I support this move by the school and I hope the parents make the requests.
Liberal indoctrination has gone too far, and something must be done to combat it. Kids don’t need to be learning about Islam right now, they need to be taught the principles of economics and how to succeed in life.
More parents should consider opting out from public schools all together.
