Here's the story: A 7th-grade teacher had students adopt Muslim names, recite prayers in class, memorize and recite a passage from the Quran, etc. over a three-week course about "what Muslims believe." Christian students and parents took the case to court. The lower courts ruled against the families, and now the USSC rejected their appeal.
This ping list is for the "other" articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. If you want on/off this list, please freepmail me. The main Homeschool Ping List by DaveLoneRanger handles the homeschool-specific articles.
Thank you for the ping. Replace Muslim with Christian and Quran with Bible and the ACLU would've been all over this... I can't believe this decision stood. I am so glad I homeschool and can control they type of curriculum my children are exposed to. I fear for what kind of world my kids will be in though when their peers are running things...
