I could see asking for a different subject regarding Islam, maybe the difference between ****e and Sunni since the Five Pillars really are more towards the religion even though of historic value. But to demand no teaching of Muslims and their faith is idiotic. How do students learn if a subject is closed to them?

However, to threaten disruption of classes and to curse a school official is absolutely inexcusable. Sorry, but I totally agree this father needs to be prevented from going near the school. He was not protecting his daughter, he was attempting to force his views on his daughter, the other students, the State of Maryland.
