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?

I cannot honestly venture an answer to your question, but will share what I think we are
ALLOWING in our schools.
Our basic morals have been broken. I really hate to sound like an old guy who is talking about walking far to school, etc., BUT it used to be that our academics were shared with parents and that parents actually were involved up front and took part.
So much today....there is NO parent involvement, and as I said in an earlier post and got burned for saying it......those teaching are human beings with their own agendas and left unfettered their agenda will surface, AS IT WOULD WITH ANY OF US....the key is parent involvement...being aware of what is going on in the schools...what the academic plan is.
Enough for my lecture....it does not answer WHY, but I am betting that local folks
IF THEY ASK, can find out some things.
The lack of parental involvement in our public schools puts our youngest at the whim of a hired teacher. Listen, my wife spent over 30 years in a classroom, thus I support teachers, but we live in a new world and involvement by parents is so crucial to the school, the teachers and the community.
This cannot be legislated.....this is a local issue and the only folks who can do it are the parents.
