[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you go to someone’s home, you respect their customs such as shoe wearing or not. When you enter a public building you respect cultural norms such as wearing a shirt. Why make such a big deal about respecting the customs of a mosque?

It’s not your culture. You aren’t some enlightened feminist because you refuse to let your daughter show respect to another culture and cover her hair for an hour. Do you actually know any Muslim women who cover their hair and how they feel about it? To presume it’s bad, backwards, anti-feminist, etc. is just centering yourself and your culture.

I think you are missing the whole point of the class and the field trips. [/quote]

You do realize that there's a difference between being invited into someone's home and doing something required as part of a public-school-sponsored activity, right?[/quote]

You do realize the school is not forcing any child to go on the field trip?

Everyone read the PP at 23:42. Think about what being an educated global citizen actually means and how we can teach kids to be one.
