Islamic Education OK in Classroom

Tip to Certus Veritas.

This World Net Daily article talks about how a judge ruled that a class on Islamic culture is fine in the classroom. On the surface that seems OK but part of the curriculum includes"

Requiring seventh-grade students to pretend they're Muslims, wear Islamic garb, memorize verses from the Quran, pray to Allah and even to play "jihad games"

OK, I'm a Christian and I don't want any teacher forcing kids to act like Christians. Same deal, here. I don't want any kid to be forced to act like a Muslim. This is totally outrageous and one that needs to be followed closely. Now it's easy to see why so many Christians decide to send their kids to private schools or even home school.

If anyone knows any more information about this topic then please drop a comment.
