Not that many years ago my daughter was in Middle School . Similar situation under the guise of studying the history of the " World`s Great Religions " the History teacher introduced a similar assignement to the one being discussed in this Thread .
However in their studies prior to an extensive segment on Islam which required a great deal of in class projects and written assignments the subject of Christianity had received a mere " gloss over " . The teacher had referred to Christ as a Historical Figure whose existence is " not well documented " by historical evidence .
Well on her own my daughter stood up one day and challenged the Teacher as to why Christianity received such little attention compared to Islam .
While a long time Honor Student this led to her being sent to the Principal`s Office for being " disruptive " and of course resulted in her parents being called in for a " Conference ".
We did not make a big deal about the matter because we liked the school . We told our daughter that it was Ok to respectfully question her teachers but best done without standing up to give a speech .
Her response was " I`m smart enough to see what they are trying to get us to believe > To which I agreed but shared that as time goes by it will only most likely get worse especially when you get to College .
