How about reading from the Quran in public schools in regions of Michigan where Muslims are a majority?
A government with the power to promote a particular religious “take” on things also has the power to promote other religious viewpoints, or to forbid particular religious viewpoints.
Perhaps that is why our founders thought that an individuals “freedom of conscience” should not be intruded upon by the power of the State.
First of all, this is only concerning the Bible, so I would hope that Muslims are offended and leave. El Salvador is 90+% Catholic, so no, I’m not worried about the Quran or the Book of Mormon being read aloud in school. Central American is seeing its own Muslim influx and if they were required to read aloud from the Bible, they’d poop a brick.
If we had such a requirement here, I highly doubt other religions would ever get a foothold.
I personally don’t have a problem with other faiths, but this country, if we had continued to maintain its original faith structure, would be better off. It got us to the 1950s and then we went to hell in a handbasket with laws being turned upside down (like abortion from nothingness).
If I went to a Muslim country, I wouldn’t expect them to mandate Christianity on me, but I would make sure I was allowed to practice my faith if it wasn’t Islam. The same should be acceptable in El Salvador or even here.
Remember, virtually all of our colonies were states with state religions. Why are you appalled at such a concept?
