    Clever enough to actually wage an argument with facts rather than just calling you stupid like some child.

    In what context would this translation be read?

    What is with the made up accusations?

    I can tell you the part that confuses me...is the outrage about children copying gibberish...Who the hell knew what the writing said or would even remember it! That is not promoting religion no more then learning history about the Spanish inquisition, or the KKK! And don't confuse invited to, with Made to.
    Not directed to you Mr.Bluespade, just my opinion on the matters.

    The beauty of living in N California is, the progressives who talk tough in person are somewhat easy to spot.
    They're the ones you know aren't meths heads but are still missing teeth!

    Public "education" is now clearly little more than a very serious form of child abuse.

    Let's say that, God forbid, you have a daughter in school, and the teacher gave her an assignment to copy the following Japanese phrase:

    私は若い女の子と一緒に寝たいです。

    Would find that appropriate?

    There is no "made up accusations". You have cheered limitations on Christian faith, and in this case you have sided with schools having students copy a testament of Islamic faith. That is cut-and-dried hypocrisy. .

    You are intellectually correct but the problem is that during times when Muslim terrorists are causing death by terror a couple three times every other year ( in the US) people do not and we cannot expect them to react intellectually.

    This was not the right time for an assignment that could get the perception that this is an act of leaching Muslimism. Please understand that when it comes to terrorists and Muslim misbehaving people are not expected to react intellectually but just a gut reaction.

    For Christians God is not allowed in School. But that same God gets a pass if the guys worshiping him are violent murdering psychopaths....

    Somethings not right here.

    No not at all. I believe that we should learn about the culture, history, and language of our enemies. We also need educator-administrators with common sense. Common sense was that we do not stick Muslim orientated crap in peoples faces at this point in time. Wrong time for maybe the right subject.

    Question: How do define stupidity?

    Answer: Resorting to cheap antics in order to avoid admitting you lost the argument.

    For decades, liberals have whined about separation of church and state. Especially where public schools are concerned. In every each question that I listed in my first post on this topic, I can cite a case brought by the ACLU. In every case the ACLU claimed that lesson was a thinly veiled attempt to push religion in school. From your posts, it is clear that you agree with their stance. Now, you have a school system using an Islamic testament of faith to demonstrate Arabic Calligraphy in a Geography class. I am sure that the school system thought they would be alright because the calligraphy would not mean anything unless it was translated. Given what has transpired, it was a gross miscalculation. I can understand the schools mistake in issuing the assignment, but I can not fathom the liberals backing them in the mistake. I would say, it defies logic, but logic has never been a liberal strong point. Nor has admitting when they make a mistake.

    For liberals to take a stance against Christian or Jewish texts being used in public schools, and then backing the use of a Islamic testament of faith is nothing short of hypocrisy. Even you have to admit it.

    None of this has anything to do with anything I have said. I have no idea what ACLU cases you are talking about.
