And so do the Christian students get to go to the Muslim academy and share their culture at Christmas, Lent, etc.,?

NO WAY would I allow a kid of mine to study Islam in school. I'd be the one to teach my kid about Islam. And 9-11 would be where I would start.

This is the school where a Muslim student who is an American citizen said his allegiance wasn't to America during an interview. I believe a couple of months ago, a moderate Muslim group warned this school to tone down its curriculum because it was too radical.

They want to know accurate information,
Then tell them the truth about Islam. Since Islam is not really a religion but rather a cult of terrorists, they can get around the religious issue. Islam needs to be shown for what it is. It's detailed history of murder and oppression needs to be shown to children so they can see the true face of Islam.

So, when does another weird cult - like the Moonies - or a murderous one - like santeria - get to go into government schools and proselytize just like the Muslims?
Islam is both "weird" and murderous".

I think a lot of secularists have baggage about Christianity and Judiasm. Most of them came from a nominally Christian or Jewish background, and they have mostly rejected the religion of their parents or grandparents. So they instinctively rebel when they hear of a "public" mention of religion. They don't have such baggage with Islam, since they have never had to reject it. Also, they flatter themselves that they are good multiculturists when they pander to a minority like the Islamists and when they oppose traditional Judeo-Christian values.
The Islamists are against Western capitalism and technology -- since the fall of communism, where else can an anti-West intellectual look to but Islamo-fascism? Therefore, they will defend and promote radical Islam.
It is funny and also sad to see how the leftists have to compromise their own progressive values just to accomodate radical Islam. Here is where multiculturism comes to the rescue. Multiculturism is a clever trick that allows one to have double standards while putting on airs of having a superior morality. Multiculturism can be used to excuse anything. That is why women are "oppressed" in America if the government does not pay for abortions, but women who are executed in Saudi Arabia for being raped are not oppressed -- they are merely participating in a unique system of values that must be respected at all costs. Because all cultures and values are equal, who are we to judge?
I also think a lot of leftists hope that if the Jihadists win, they will cut them some slack rather than cutting their throats because the left sided with the Jihadists and made their victory possible.

This is an outrage! Christians are going to have to stand up against this NOW or the whole country is going to come under GOD judgment.
IMHO The biggest difference between the people of America and the rest of the world is the GOD we built our nation on.
They are still in the 14th century. If we let this continue we are going to turn into the mad-max movies.
GOD have mercy and bring us back to YOU.

Why isn't the American Criminal Liberties Union crying foul and filing suit to prevent this? It's because the ALCU knows and believes that the nation was founded as a Christian nation and its laws on Christian principles.

Excellent point. Speaking of civil war, read "Civil War II" by Chittum. Not so far fetched.

This would be a good idea...perhaps bring in Christian
missionaries who were beaten, or family members of those
beheaded for preaching Christ.
Follow up with families of murdered Zionists.
Then talk about the 'fusion of church and state' and
pointedly ask when the ACLU is going to
send 'missionaries' to places like Abu Dhabi, Baghdad, or
Medina to spread their 'Good News' that there is no Allah.
I'm not holding my breath, though.

The school could bring in my mother's priest who is from the Phillipines and has had 25 members of his family murdered by members of the "religion of peace."
