It's Be A Raghead Day At School, Mom!

Our brave new schools...

"The U.S. Supreme Court rejected an appeal Monday by evangelical Christian students and their parents who said a Contra Costa County school district engaged in unconstitutional religious indoctrination when it taught students about Islam by having them recite language from prayers.

The court, without comment, left intact a ruling by the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco last November in favor of the Byron Union School District in eastern Contra Costa.

The suit challenged the content of a seventh-grade history course at Excelsior Middle School in Byron in the fall of 2001. The teacher, using an instructional guide, told students they would adopt roles as Muslims for three weeks to help them learn what Muslims believe."

Wonderful. I knew about the lawsuit, didn't know the Supreme Court let the program stand.

Anyone with half a brain knows how this would have been shot down... no, better yet NEVER EVEN PROPOSED if it was a Christian or Jewish indoctrination program.

But because we're pussies in this country, we let our children be brainwashed with this bullshit.

Every damn time I think I'm beyond being surprised by the world's stupidity...
