outside schools

[Busyman™]

Who are you to tell other people how they should educate their children. If Muslims believe that the best way to educate their own children is in a school which teaches their religion then that's up to them, not you.

Someone else coming to their school and giving children pamphlets, or books or whatever is not the same thing. "Up till now my posts have been of a general nature concerning the thread content." - Pish, you twisted it to suit your agenda, it's not the same thing at all.

Absolute twaddle. Read the thread from the beginning.The whole thing behind the issuing of pamphlets at the gates of US schools is because the teaching of religion is not allowed. Christians in the States are doing hand stands and somersaults trying to achieve the introduction of religion into the curriculum.
Who are they(Christians) to say how children should be educated. Introducing Creationism as means of introduction did not worked. The issuing of leaflets is just another ploy.

One way is them trying to get it in the school curriculum. This has to go through a school board....basically some oversight.

The other is them trying to circumvent that by handing out propaganda just outside the school grounds.

2 different things entirely.

If you look at the definition of brainwashing it would appear that I am correct.

brain·wash·ing (brān'wŏsh'ĭng, -wô'shĭng)
n.

1. Intensive, forcible indoctrination, usually political or religious, aimed at destroying a person's basic convictions and attitudes and replacing them with an alternative set of fixed beliefs.
2. The application of a concentrated means of persuasion, such as an advertising campaign or repeated suggestion, in order to develop a specific belief or motivation.

Only if you happen to be the type of bigot who thinks that happens in schools which have religious studies classes. It may happen in some, I have no idea not having experience of every type of school.

However for you to say that it happens in all just shows that you are simply supporting your own narrow minded bigotry. Probably based on your out-dated view on how schools operate. Religious education nowadays, far from teaching that one religion is the only religion, teach about the wide variety there is. The differences in fundamental beliefs etc. more importantly they also teach about the similarities.

Being fair I am only talking about Christian schools. I have no experience of any other types, however that does not mean I will judge them harshly based on ignorance.

I am only bigoted in the sense that that I believe no religion should be taught in schools. It would appear that the US government is also bigoted according to your principles.

[Mr JP Fugley]

No, you are bigoted because you accuse other people of brainwashing, based on your own prejudices. Having at best out-dated information on the subject and at worst none at all. How much do you actually know about the teaching of religion in Muslim schools, or in Jewish schools. Or in any other school which either is affiliated to a religion or is non-religious but chooses to teach children about different religious systems.

Whether the US Government is also bigoted is really neither here nor there. It changes nothing about you, your attitudes or how you express them. I do however find it extraordinary if the American people have decided that religion is a subject which should be precluded from it's school curriculum. How can you even study things like History without also studying religion.

I am Homophobic(not your words), Narrow minded, Bigoted, Prejudiced. The only thing missing is vindictiveness.

If I achieve that then I will be in danger of usurping your position as the Forum arse (Official)

Oh there's plenty of vindictiveness about you, posting the odd smillie when you do it doesn't change that.

Bob. I'll make a deal with you. You can have a cheek and I can have a cheek. That would be the PC thing to do.
