PBS Lesson Plan Teaches Kids to Sympathize with Radical Islamic Terrorism
Click to expand...

Jihad without a drop of blood
On PBS’ website for teachers and students seeking educational resources, the lesson plan has been viewed more than 1,200 times.

At the end of March, the Christian Action Network sent a “Letter of Demand” to officials at the U.S. Department of Education, mandating the PBS LearningMedia website cease its “so-called educational material” covering topics related to Islam, which CAN said are “nothing more than indoctrinating students into Islamic religious beliefs, duties and actions.”

A review of the LearningMedia website by The Blaze found at least six lengthy lesson plans focused on teaching students about various aspects of Islam, including “The Five Pillars of Islam,” “The Haj: Journey to Mecca” and “Salat: Prayer in Muslim Life.” However, no similar lesson plans covering other religious groups—including Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Taoism or Hinduism—were discovered on the website.

If I could only deny my tax money that will go toward your SS and Medicare/Medicaid.

The issue here for me isn't that it's a religious course, because it's not. It's a course about terrorism, and you can't talk about terrorism without religion. As I skimmed through the resources, I noticed that they do go a bit pro-Palestine for my tastes though. Though, it's PBS, I don't think teachers are required to use this as a resource.
 
That's some disgusting crap. Where are American kids going to learn about Christianity if PBS isn't going to cover it?

The same place other children learn from, their parents. That should work for Muslim parents too.

Yea, I was joking. I don't really mind the idea of trying to teach kids about other religions and cultures they might not know about. I think calling it indoctrination is really over dramatic.

Parents don't know everything.

Oh...my...god...THE HORROR! PBS wants to give children...information! HOW DARE THEY! Information is scary! All we need to know is that christians are gud, muslims bad, and god tells us to kill all the baddies!

No, really, why are you so scared of people learning?

You have no idea about Islam in our schools, do you?

You should be asking that question of Islam. What is wrong with people hearing what it(Islam) really says? They, all apologists, seem to be doing their best so that doesn't happen.

As do I. None of the public schools I went to never tried to "indoctrinate" any of us with Islam.

It's just silly, fearmongering crap from coldjoint.

I agree. Where is the ACLU and the liberal anti-religionists and the Libertarians on this one? PBS gets substantial federal funding which makes teaching/promoting a particular religion inappropriate. I would have no problem whatsoever with an objective series on comparative religions. But if PBS is teaching Islamic doctrine and ignores all the other major religions, I just don't think they should get federal funding. A private television entity can broadcast any doctrine it wants to.

But, that doesn't fit any angry mooslim hater's agenda! The link is to another, very biased website.

How dare you introduce objective evidence into this thread.

OP FAIL

The indoctrination is that you think Islam can coexist. That it is tolerant. That it is spiritual. None of those things are true.

See Post #12. They do not just cover Islam.
 
Personally I'm looking forward to the new cartoon, Gadaffi Duck.

It is perfectly constitutional to teach children about religion, including with federal or state funding. Please read your ****ing constitution so you know what it says.

As does anyone who has ever traveled to a muslim country and seen things firsthand.

It can. I think too many people just don't want to co-exist

The fact is those lessons exist. And that our schools refuse to tell the whole truth about Islam. And there are other threads.

How about telling the truth that religion is nothing more than stone age fables and myths extrapolated into groups that use their religion to justify hate and war? (My opinion, everyone else is entitled to theirs)

The truth that Islam is the most glorious of all religions, that we should all convert!

I know what you mean brother!
