    I would never had allowed the school to take my child to such a horrid place. I would keep my child at home. I hope that the school is sued and a lot of people are fired. It is outrageous that they (Christians) can’t say GOD in the public schools and yet the bottom feeder muslims can do as they please. I makes me want to hurl!

      Sued… for what, exactly?

      There’s no prohibition on saying “God” in public schools or anywhere else.

      And I just love the racism. Nice.

    This absolutely turns my stomach. These schools cerrtainly would not allow the children to go to a christian house of worship to observe. And some of these children certainly did more then observe. The age of these children going to this mosque is too young. You don’t take children who are so impressionable to a place where they were definitely attempting to sway their minds. And what about separation of church and state? Or does that only apply to christian churches? It should never have happened. I will never allow my granddaughter, who lives with me, to attend one of these “field trips”. As a Christian woman I won’t begin to delve into the religious aspect….I would be here all day

      1) As was pointed out elsewhere, the course includes trips to a church and a synagogue. You ought to both check facts better and make fewer assumptions.

      2) Separation of church and state applies to any religion. But there’s no separation issue here. No legal body has ever construed the separation to prohibit education *about* religion (as distinct from “religious education”, which of course is a separation issue). It’s a standard part of social studies curriculums across the country; this school simply has a particularly thorough instance.

      3) I have no idea how this was presented in the context of the class, but given that we know the course similarly included visits to other religions houses of worship it seems likely that it was set up as a comparative lesson. If the teacher’s doing his/her job right, it’s easy to present such things as only representing one of several views. That certainly seems to be consistent with what the students interviewed got from it.

    Our schools system is part of the major problem in America. Public schools are being use to further the liberal agenda. Public schools are being used to further the caused of Atheism, Socialism, and Globalism through propaganda. Our kids are not thought to value our Judeo/Christian values. History is being thought through progressive lenses. Science teachers are falsely indoctrinating our kids about Global warming theories that are unfounded and distorted to further the Globalist progressives skewed agenda. Everything is skewed to further the liberal agenda and their elitist concepts. That is one reason why Obama, Pelosi and Reid managed to gain power because majority of young people voted for them. These young people are so brainwashed that their reasoning power became so weak. Philosophy thought in Universities are all about Nietzsche and Atheism. Basically, the practice of Sodom and Gomorra are inspired and encourage in College. No wonder college kids are always looking forward to spring break and sorority parties so they can booze out and practice the most immoral acts possible.

    Most people will not like this posting, but numbers do not lie.

    Long term demographic trends in the United States v. Global Islamic Theocracy
    Judeo-Christian values v. Islam Sharia based values

    The USA is on the downhill side of the Baby Boom pure and simple.

    Considering that the entirety of the Boomers are Judeo-Christians then the numbers of people with Judeo-Christian values will correspond to that downhill trend.

    Demographically, Islamic families are on the rise through out Europe as compared to non-Islamic families, therefore the population of Europe will be many Islamic 200 years from now,

    The USA faces the same pending Islamic demographic trend of Europe if nothing is done.

    To back fill the demographic effects of the loss of the Baby Boomers with desired Judeo-Christian
    people who more closely adhere to American values we need to import or allow the migration of Judeo-Christian valued people such as Hispanic families.

    It is not the responsibility of the school systems in this country to teach our children anything about any religion. That is between a parent and their children. Courses on different religions can be and are taught in colleges where the students are mature enough to draw their own conclusions and is actually a very interesting class study. This teacher(s) and whoever else at the school that approved this trip should all be fired. It isn’t their place to take children to church for any reason. It was wrong to do.

    We must demand that Muslems in America practice only the religious part of Islam. Political side of Islam such as Sharia must not be allowed in America. Accept this altimatum or leave America. If they truly wish to worship this religion then they should accept that they cannot practice Sharia. No more immigrant visa for Moslems will be allowed. To stop the Islamization of America we must put a stop to Moslems applying for immigrant status.

      Sadly the girls will be the majority to reject it, but the boys will be more influenced to accept and embraced it Why? Well I will get alot of hate for this but if you really look at it you may see the truth. For the past 30 years boys have been pressured to be feminized and more touchy feely by the liberal feminist movement. Boys are boys and have been pressured into becoming more Metrosextual and have been fighting it. Also girls have been pushing into the world of boys to prove a point. This recent issue with this Inez slut is a good example. Men are being pressured into being feminized, these are the facts.

      So whats the solution and how can you revolt againts this invasion of the sexes? Become Muslim, and have Shari Law as your creed. Indoctranation? No! a revolt! The Imams know this and will use it to get converts, then the nation can be fundementaly tranformed with little resistance.

      So you feminist Moonbats! You better wake up and smell the coffee! Your world is about to end unless this ideology can be exposed for what it is!!!

      Exactly the point. Christians can’t even SAY God in a graduation speech or have a prayer meeting on the lawn of the school without an uproar on the left about “separation of church and state.” I applaud the school for teaching and having kids experience different religions but I want to know if they took a field trip to a Christian church and a Jewish Temple. Also you better be careful about letting them participate and make darn sure that you’re allowing prayer for EVERYONE in your school!!!

      All we need to know about islam is they believe in burying women up to their chests and heaving rocks at them until they are dead. We humanely euthanize our pets, but that is considered proper punishment for any muslm women if she refuses to marry the 30 years older than she filth to whom her father sells her. Her mother, father, uncles and brothers will dig a hole, deliver her there, and watch while the stones are being thrown. Every few minutes, the father will go lift up his daughter’s head to see if she is still alive. If she is, he will pronounce that more stones need to be thrown. This will go on until her father declares she is dead. The family will not even dig her up and give her a decent burial, she isn’t considered worth it. Garbage men will dig her up and throw her on a garbage heap. The same thing will happen to a women if her husband says he believes she is having an affair. Defend it all you want. This is who they are. Make sure you know. Make very sure you want to be known as someone who locks arms with people who deliver their daughters and sisters and nieces to be stoned to death by the men of the town in order to repair their “honor.” These silly officious little bullies have no honor, They wouldn’t recognize honor if it jumped up off of the sidewalk and bit them in the ass.

This has been going on since right after 9/11 in our public schools. These are simply two examples, google Islam in public schools, you will be stunned.
