[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll tell you this much, OP:  all this does is teach your kid to hate.  Not good. [/quote]

OP here. Honest question. Why does it teach my kids to hate? [/quote]

Your unwillingness even to tolerate a dress code so that your kid can learn about a mosque strictly as an academic subject sends a message of intolerance, inflexibility, and hate.  [/quote]

Her kid can learn about the academic subject in class. I hope you stretched before that massive reach you just made.[/quote]

Not a massive reach.  She’s basically saying she refuses to let her kid enter a mosque.  It’s hate, pure and simple.  [/quote]

OP here. Nah, I don't hate muslims, catholics, jews, buddhists, mormons, scientologists, or any other person following any religion. And I wouldn't dare visiting a temple of any denomination and not follow their rules. That's why I have no interest in visiting any religious site. What I don't like is a public school "forcing" religious rules on my kids. And if you don't think the school is forcing them, I'd argue that the school is in a position of power. You might argue they might opt out but kids that age usually want to do whatever the other kids their age do.[/quote]

The school isn’t “forcing” religious rules on your kids at all.  You have been given the opportunity to opt out, which by definition means there is no forcing taking place at all.  You’re just being all huffy puffy indignant and angry and hateful about something very inconsequential, that’s all.  And what your teaching your kid is my way or the highway.  And when they grow up they’re going to know how ridiculous you were.
