You can teach faith, it just has to be our faith Options

This is retarded... Christian churches aren't allowed to go into a school and preach and "inform" the children about God and if they threatened a hate crime they would get laughed at.

If it really was presentation on culture and ethics then yeah, that's fine, but this is CAIR we're talking about, they always have an agenda.

You can expose young people to Arabic culture without having an Islamic presentation. Just like you could have an American culture discussion over there without discussing Christianity. Or a Chinese culture discussion without Buddhism.

I say it's hypocrisy (not necessarily what you said) because the second you have anything Christian enter a school, the pundits cry about separation of church and state. Then you have some other religion, be it Islam or Buddhism or anything else, and suddenly it's ok because it's "cultural". That's the hypocrisy. It's called a double-standard. And it seems to be happening all too often nowadays.

I recall having "multi-cultural" days in school, where we'd have a big presentation set up discussing various cultures, arabic, chinese, mexican, french, german, etc. There'd be food from different cultures, pictures of people's homes, talks of their way of life, etc. But I don't in any of those times recall someone stepping forward to teach the lesson that "Allah is God of all people". That's not a multicultural lesson, that's a religious lesson.
