Congress wants to...

Hold hearings about steroids in professional sports and waste the taxpayers money doing so but $hit like this dosn't draw their FULL attention? This isn't the first example of this type of school using tax dollars to "Teach Islam" inside the USA.

Something isn't right. What's next? Perhaps a taxpayer funded Jihad camp for these students in AZ? Maybe a flight school.

A law should be passed making it mandatory that everyone in the pro sports business MUST USE STEROIDS. It would be interesting to watch body parts explode during a super-bowl.
Maybe then I'd waste my time watching.
with warm regards,
Tony

I can't get the thing to really open. It gets stuck.
Anyway, if this is about steriods, it's none of our effen business. It's pro-sports' business. What a waste of time and money. I can't wait until "getting tough" on drugs stops being a way to get elected.
Teach Islam? only as an elective.

It is about the charter school which receives public education funds yet holds Islamic preyer, follows Islamic teachings and has not displayed the US flag outside the school as required by law. It is nothing more than an Islamic school taking public tax money.
It is a tough page for me to load too Charlie as my satellite internet is little more than dialup speed.

Back in here, Islam is taught at schools.
Kids who come from homes which practice Islam are taught Islam at school, because religion is part of Finnish curriculum. In here, though, most worry about whether the Islam teachers are qualified enough for the job.
Most Finns are Lutherans, so when the curriculum has "religion", it means mostly that, but Finnish kids are taught about all major faiths as part of normal education.
If a child comes from non-Lutheran home, the parents and the child in question can decide if the child will be participating the normal religion class, philosophy of life class or specific class, in which the child's own religion will be taught, which is the case with Islam among others.

God, how boring   ....My family and the other 10,000 Swedes here are almost all Lutheran but fortunately, we were spared having to listen to it in school. We go to 1st Lutheran for that. Our Lutheran ministers here were a pretty gloomy bunch. Garrrison Keillor's Lutheran stories hit it right on the head.

Nor do I.
Quote:| Public schools should not be in the business of endorsing or promoting any kind of prayer or religious activity for any students, regardless of their religion. But at the same time, students should be free to engage in genuinely voluntary prayers while at public schools, particularly during recess and lunch time, as long as they do not disrupt the proper functioning of the school and do not pressure other students to join in – regardless of whether the prayers are Muslim, Christian, Jewish, or of any other faith. Of course, schools cannot favor or discriminate either for or against a particular religion or between religious and non-religious meetings. |

Without the concept of charter schools, there would be no virtual schools. And I happen to think virtual schools are the answer for gifted and talented kids who have been told throughout their entire academic careers to sit down, shut up, and wait for the rest of the class to catch up.
I guess there are two sides to every coin.

I'm not opposed to changing up the teaching methods - the Montessori system is one example of a school where learning is individualized and students have a great deal of flexibility and freedom - this works very well for many gifted students. Montessori method is much older than the idea of charter schools.
There was some show I saw a few times about 4 decades ago, where the kids who starred in the show lived in some remote area, and attended a virtual school by short wave radio. Buckminster Fuller once had some interesting thoughts on education vs. learning, and predicted that home TV studios would make it possible for students to watch lectures on any subject anywhere, along with being the writers/presenters/producers of their own educational TV programs. It was a crazy idea when he said it.

Dave- My point was congress can wory and take action on something it should not be involved in but when it comes to a real potential threat the US soil they look the other way. It has already come to light that some Mosques are in fact generating $ for known terrorist groups. Now we have a publically funded school teaching islam. I can easily see in 1 generation bombings being common in the news. No, not on forign soil....right here in the USA.
The fanatics quickly learned they can cloak their activities within the US under the guise of religion and be pretty cirtian to go un noticed.
It is just starting and the politicians are afraid to do anything about it.
