what about YOUR thoughts, mellie?
Mosque Shock: School Rocked by Field Trip Vid of Kids Bowing to Allah | The Blaze
1. What are your thoughts on public school field trips to religious places?
2. Should parents be angry if their child chose to participate in praying to Allah?
As a parent and a former teacher I say "**** the field trips". Why can't johnny read? because he spends too much time going on these bull**** field trips. I always viewed field trips as primarily a way for lazy teachers to get out of the classroom and not have to actually teach for a day.
The last semester my two youngest kids were in public school (we home school now) between the two of them they spent at least 20 days out of the classroom on "field trips". they went to the freakin zoo, they went to see plays at the local theater, they went to every single freakin museum within a 100 mile radius. Hell, they even spent a day at the freakin "cook's pest control museum of natural science" looking at all the varieties of **** roaches.
As for this particular field trip, I have only one question. Anyone care to speculate on the amount of hell that would be being raised if it had been muslim kids taken to a catholic church and "given the opportunity" to attend mass?
So post #16 is inaccurate, then.
The women weren't allowed to pray, they could only watch.
Maybe,
let me rephrase:
only the men, the woman from a distance....
i wouldn't want my kid around this sort of discrimination.
seems to me parents don't have to sign a permission slip if they don't feel it's appropriate.
and it's too bad you don't feel museums and plays and zoos are of no educational value, i'm pretty sure your parents felt the same

are women normally allowed to pray in a mosque?

I'm not sure about that. I'm sure they were allowed to pray, just in a different location.
Seems to me when the school lies to the parents to trick them into signing a permission slip there should be some legal reprecussion against the school. What part of "the trip was sold to the parents as a "history" lesson" don't you understand?
Separate but equal! :thumbs:

It's my understanding that there are only a few mosques in America where men and women are allowed to pray together.
Others discourage women from entering the mosque. Those that do must pray in another area or behind a partition. I doubt these areas are equal to the areas the men are praying in.

they aren't when they take the place of learning to read, write and do basic math. And yeah, my parent felt the same....that's why we went to the zoo, plays and museums on the weekends and my teachers actually taught me to think. Too bad yours didn't. :lol:
so what? don't become a muslim.
Do parents still have to sign permission slips for field trips like they did when I was a kid?

It's my understanding that there are only 30% or so of mosques in America where men and women are allowed to pray together.
.Others, women must pray in another area or behind a partition. I doubt these areas are equal to the areas the men are praying in.
Unfortunately, that is one of the problems of Islam. It does not recognize certain fundamental human rights.
So why would our public schools even bother with it? I don't want anyone teaching my kid that women are second class citizens.

By that logic, American schools shouldn't teach anything about Catholicism, Mormonism, Apartheid, Jim Crowe, and pre-sufferage American History. or any other time and place in history when people haven't been equal.
Their is a difference between teaching history and teaching religion.
