[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m also an atheist. You should let your 6th grader decide. She is not being excluded, you are the one excluding her. So you should have the wherewithal to explain why you have decided she is not allowed to do this, and what is the super important principle that is at stake.  [/quote]

OP here. Of course I have explained to them my rationale; and, honestly, I'm still making up my mind around this issue. And I know I'm excluding her because of an idea the school had. My rant was because I feel icky about the school's idea of this field trip.[/quote]

Idk OP this is some weirdly tinged intolerance feigned as "atheism". I'm an atheist teacher whose students participate in the Embassy Adoption program. We've gone to a Buddhist temple and worn the appropriate clothing. We've had Islamic States and worn their clothes, [b]we've had Israel and worn their clothes[/b]. Exploring cultures is not something to feel icky about. It's a learning experience not religious immersion [/quote]

Please tell me you aren't actually a teacher. "Israel" is not a religion you dolt. You are confusing Israeli with Jewish. You also make an offensive false equivalence between Islamic state theocracies and a Israel, which is a democracy. [/quote]
