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 .

What an excellent post and thanks for sharing the story. Kudos to your daughter … may all of our kids be both as gutsy and perceptive as she obviously is.
What I really don’t understand … why in the world do the left wing academics try to push Islam in the manner they do? By any sane measure of comparison, Christianity vs Islam is a no-brainer in terms of which is better for the future of America and our kids/grandkids. The notion of Sharia, for example, is so barbaric and backward you would think any academic type would recoil in horror at the prospect of this religion spreading its influence. Why would feminists not be militanly opposed? I wonder how well gay marriage and the gay culture would do under Sharia come to think of it? Duh.
So, with all the wise and well informed people on this board (plus a few who are ... well, never mind), can someone explain or hypothesize why this ultimately suicidal bravo sierra is foisted upon impressionable young minds in the classroom?
