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. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

I don't care if a school has a full in depth discussion of any religion. All I care about in this case is that there's not a double-standard when it comes to Christianity, which in this case, there is.
And as far as elementary school cultural activities being shallow... gimme a break, it's effing elementary school. |

Actually, this reminds me quite a bit of the "why is it okay for black people to say the n-word but white people can't" argument in the respect that you're advocating that it's either okay for everyone or it's not okay for everyone. And as far as elementary school cultural activities being shallow... gimme a break, it's effing elementary school. Stuff like that is shallow, it doesn't really delve into culture or anything like that. Ex: "In Brussels they make chocolate. It is the capitol of the European Union. They grow Brussels sprouts there." So, no, you give me teh break. |

It's not like the n-word at all. It's the Constitution of the United States. Stuff like that is shallow, it doesn't really delve into culture or anything like that. Ex: "In Brussels they make chocolate. It is the capitol of the European Union. They grow Brussels sprouts there." So, no, you give me teh break. I agreed with you, it is shallow. It's supposed to be that way in elementary school. |
