This is pure BS. Kinda hoping he sues the school for forcing a religious assignment on his daughter.

This country is on a crash course to be an Islamic/Atheist POS place to live.
Some school systems need a total enema to flush the shit out.

I see no value of religion in schools in any form. This is not anything against religion. We need to teach these kids to frame a house not about the Bible or koran or however the hell it's spelled. School should be about getting a job.

Personally I see no reason it should not be part of a high school.
As a social studies and as a elective

What need to be taught is what we as a older group learned

Civics
History
Mathematics
Science
Grammar

"Charles County Public Schools, the district in which La Plata High School is located, released a statement to parents about the situation:

'Charles County Public Schools (CCPS) social studies curriculum adheres to the Maryland World History curricular standards that are a requirement for all counties in the state. These standards include an analysis of the elements of culture such as art, music, religion, government, social structure, education, beliefs and customs in societies throughout history. Regarding the study of history specifically, the standards also state that students should be able to analyze the customs and beliefs of world religions and their expansion, as well as how their establishment has impacted other areas of culture, and in certain times and regions, even caused conflict.

The particular unit in question at La Plata High School is on the formation of Middle Eastern empires in which students learned the basic concepts of the Islamic faith and how it, along with politics, culture, economics and geography, contributed to the development of the Middle East. Other religions are introduced when they influence or impact a particular historical era or geographic region. For example, when reviewing the Renaissance and Reformation, students study the concepts and role of Christianity. When learning about the development of China and India, students examine Hinduism and Buddhism.'"

My response isn't directly toward the article... I didn't even read the whole thing.

However, I do think we contradict ourselves... especially those of us who claim to be Christians...myself included.

There is a place for God in our schools. After all, it is "one nation under God" ...or Is it?
