I think this is yet another case of common sense has flown out the window. Teaching kids about other cultures and religions is wholly possible without assigning a copy exercise that is a statement of faith for the religion.

I mean, really... *face palm*

Because some one makes a false claim that God and Allah are the same, is a deceptive, deliberate, lie.


Not a lie one just can't face the obvious facts even if they are right in front of you. 500 B.C Buddha wrote parables & the your Christ came along just repeated what Buddha had already taught.




Jesus: "Do to others as you would have them do to you." Luke 6:31
Buddha: "Consider others as yourself." Dhammapada 10:1



Jesus: "If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also." Luke 6:29
Buddha: "If anyone should give you a blow with his hand, with a stick, or with a knife, you should abandon any desires and utter no evil words." Majjhima Nikaya 21:6




Jesus: "Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me." Matthew 25:45
Buddha: "If you do not tend to one another, then who is there to tend you? Whoever would tend me, he should tend the sick." Vinaya, Mahavagga 8:26.3



Jesus: "Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take the sword will perish by the sword." Matthew 26:52
Buddha: "Abandoning the taking of life, the ascetic Gautama dwells refraining from taking life, without stick or sword." Digha Nikaya 1:1.8Jesus: "Those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will save it." Mark 8:35
Buddha: "With the relinquishing of all thought and egotism, the enlightened one is liberated through not clinging." Majjhima Nikaya 72:15




More food for thought.

if kids were forced to write JESUS SAVES, the ACLU would be suing already.
Lol. That's exactly what I'm saying here.

Of ALL the things she could have had them write, she just *had* to pick THAT exact phrase.

No, no its not. But like any major religion, there are wackos who will form/join the more deranged sects that give them an excuse to be the devils they are naturally.

1. 'The students were presented with the statement to demonstrate the complex artistry of the written language used in the Middle East, and were asked to attempt to copy it in order to give the students an idea of the artistic complexity of the calligraphy,’ Dr Bond stated. Bond added that students at Riverheads will be given similar assignments when they study about China and Africa.[LEFT]That sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Were they being "indoctrinated" into communism when they learned about China? When they studied Kenya (the country our president is supposed to be from) was it noted that 82% of Kenyans identify as Christian?

2. OP, you do know, don't you, that the Daily Mail is a British newspaper and when they are talking about something that happened in the U.S. it's always some outlier story designed to make Americans look the idiots we sometimes are.

3. People who publicize stories like this always attempt to make it seem like this is some kind of national trend, not a single instance of something unusual, often taken out of context. Why? So people like the OP will get all stirred up and post links to their newspaper.

I just think it's funny that a bunch of right wing Christian nut jobs shut down their whole school system over this.
