From Local6.com:
Officials at a public school in Oregon are defending a seventh-grade social studies unit on Islam that included students dressing in traditional Islamic dress.School officials say that students have to understand the rise of Islam and the interaction with Europe. And yesterday, the good old trusty Supreme Court decided not to pursue the issue of Islamic indoctrination by passing on the opportunity to rule on a California case.Kendlee Garner of Nyssa told the Ontario Argus Observer that she objected to the amount of time dedicated to the unit on Islam -- four weeks -- as well as the wearing of religious garb and the lack of parental notification. She said her son told her about the activity, and when she objected, he got an alternate assignment in the library.

in the Army, of which I have first-hand experience, and you, I presume,
have none? You have no moral authority to talk about hypocrisy in
others, but that won't stop you, because you'll just delete this post
too, no doubt. You're just the latest of the Jawa Nazi's who cry about
liberal hypocrisy while you're quick to censure those who don't tow the
PC line. Go ahead and delete this post, and prove me right.

I don't think teaching about Islam is necessarily a bad thing. But I think it would be wishful thinking to assume they are teaching the truth and not some moral equivalence (or moral superiority) bullpiss.

When I was in Freshmen year High School in 1973. Our entire Social Studies class re-enacted the Communist revolution in China, We spent a week wearing Blue T-Shirts and for that entire week, we were the "Blue Guard." We had the little "Blue Books" and turned in people for "anti party behavior" We addressed each other as Comrade.
The whole deal seems funny now but it was an eye opener back then. You really get a lesson in mob mentality and how the "masses can be whipped into a frenzy by some well place "organizers". There were lessons in this class that I can still appreciate today. It was a good object lesson in how "screwed up" the communist systems was and in some parts of the world, still is. i.e. North Korea. My social studies teachers were well traveled and brilliant individuals.
Incidentally, I attended a Catholic High School in New York.
Thanks
