[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The irony here is that the people who think they are all so progressive are the most intolerant of them all. How smug you are to insult a person's faith and customs because they don' t align with your own.

I think it is a great trip that is aligned to Social Studies standards and exposes students to concepts they might not otherwise be exposed to. Let the kids go and make their own decisions.

I totally agree. By covering your head in a mosque you're not condoning anything. You're simply saying, "I've come to your house and I will respect your rules." I can't believe how many people simply don't get that. I remember going to mosques, Buddhist temples, catholic cathedrals, and synagogues when I was younger and it never occurred to me to stage some kind of a protest by not following what is customary. That would be so disrespectful.

Students need to be exposed to as many customs and cultures as possible. Only then will we live in a better, more inclusive, and tolerant society.[/quote]
