Zaragoza, Spain (2006) - Schools banned Christmas on the grounds that Muslim students may not like it. -Spain is a Christian country. Not a Muslim country. Do you think a Muslim country would ban their Islamic holidays like Ramadan on the grounds that non-Muslims may not like it? Nope, they wouldn't. They'd probably expell you for suggesting such an idea.
San Diego, USA (2007) - Schools allow Muslim students to pray in seperate rooms during the day while Christian and Jewish students do not. -America is the land of religious freedom but you don't give equal rights to all religions? What is that? Oxymoron.
I have no problem with Muslims coming to America and getting freedoms and resources they didn't previously have. What I have a problem with that Muslims, who are not American citizens and have no plans to become one, come to America and demand rights that the citizens don't have and they actually get them! What the heck is that? Muslims come into the USA and the UK and change laws and customs that have been for hundreds of years, making life harder and unfair to the citizens. Also for example, schools can be forced to have Islamic diets but not for Jewish or vegetarian/vegan diets. What right do foreigners have to come here and make life harder for citizens? No offense. We're not treating everyone equal and isn't that what America is all about?

ReplyDeleteMost schools in America put out the next month's lunch schedule out like 2 weeks and then also 1 week early and warn of meat, peanut butter, etc. Most don't even use pork just in case of Jewish students. You could go to the office and ask, "Will there be -whatever-?"
Also, canceling Christmas "traditions"? In America, none of these are really that "American" anyway. Unless you're a Native American doing a very ancient tradition to ... celebrate the birth of Christ (??), then these "traditions" are really from all over the world. And what sorts of these could SCHOOLS do? Sure, they do a "secret Santa" occasionally, but they've excised the baby Jesuses and the crosses, ne? Usually they let the kids go do some coloring of a Christmas tree and go have some coffee. I know they do it. I have seen them.
