  • I think it is easy to say "why make a big fuss over this Christian stuff anyway?" when you most closely relate with the Christian side. If a public school had students sing traditional Muslim songs, whatever that may be, people would be in an uproar. Swap Muslim for Christian and people will defend the right to do that and say its not a big deal.

    You're better off just separating public schools and religion (outside of history) and leaving it at that. No need to play favorites.

  • I would raise the same concerns others have regarding the social aspect of being home schooled. There are a lot of lessons you'd gain going through the ups and downs that you wouldn't get at home.

    And while some parents might make adequate teachers, what level could they go up to? How many parents could teach their kid calculus? Physics? Etc. These classes may not be thr norm across the board, but its still a very real deficiency.

    Well duh everyone would be mad if American kids in American schools were forced to sing songs from a religion that (generally) hates America. This is the same religion that was used as grounds to slaughter thousands of Americans 14 years ago. I sure haven't forgotten.

    Me personally, I would not be happy if a school made my kids sing Christian hymns. It is none of their business which religion my child does or does not practice. That shit belongs in private schools, which I have no problem with at all.

    Islam is always picked here as the alternative religion, because it's most prominent in the news. How about Hinduism? The rules are (I believe?) that no state organisation - including public schools - can favour one religion over another. As a consequence, there should be no religious indoctrination of any kind, regardless of whether it's christianity or islam or FSM.

  • I agree. I just picked the "scariest" alternative.

  • If you had bombs go off and human pieces scattered around you, you would understand 'scary'.

  • When I attended Catholic school I was not Catholic. Nor was I an orphan which many of the kids at St Johns were.

    Nobody ever tried to force non Catholics to participate in communion or anything else. Few different words in the Lord's Prayer. I don't remember being offended or outraged because in those days it wasn't the cool thing to do. Now it's an attention getting device.

  • I agree with steve. I cannot speak for others but I get the impression that most of these "offended" people are using it as a means to gain attention or political traction.

  • Here are some 'grateful' Syrian/ISIS refugees throwing away food and water on train tracks:

    And apparently giving food to refugees is equivalent to a 'Nazi' concentration camp (according to the BBC)

  • That would be in the country that has hastily erected razor-wire fences and made repeated declarations it won't accept any muslims? Gee, I wonder why they're not thrilled with the local hospitality.

    Go back to Syria.

    It's water and food. Stop being cunts.

    These are the types of shitheads who ask for toast in the breadline. Unreal.

    Out of the million cliches I could use... I'll go with beggars can't be choosers.

    Sure, they could respond better. But I understand why tempers are running high.

    Again, stay on the train. Every country has the right to say no to illegal immigrants. Why don't these fuckface "refugees" go throw water and food at Turkey?

    They're immigrants. Not refugees. Refugees don't refuse water.

  • I don't see any country from the middle east or west Asia offering to take them in.

    Really? This is a refugee camp for syrians in Jordan:

  • And where do you think they all want to go? Germany.

  • That doesn't change the fact that Jordan has accepted them in the first place. It's not just Jordan, btw.

  • Over 3 million syrian refugees are in just turkey & lebanon - two countries next to Syria. Meanwhile, the UK has graciously offered to accept 20000 refugees over 5 years. So when you " don't see any country from the middle east or west Asia offering to take them in" I suspect that may be related to your media outlets of choice, and a lack of effort to find out.
