Honestly, it is a really good idea.

In the UK they do (or did when I was at school anyway) trips to places like the big cathedrals sometimes. Judging by the big grounds of kids you see in them still, I imagine they still do.Originally posted by Jon Miller View PostComment

As I said, I don't call Muslims bigots because they don't want their children going to my chin, but you still don't get it.Originally posted by Ming View PostI drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

Gee... I had no problem with my kids visiting other churches or hearing about other religions.
You want to stop kids from seeing and learning about other religions.
So who's the bigot.Keep on Civin'

If they are visiting such places for purely academic purposes, I don't see a problem with it.
I am an hard headed atheist, but I think people should visit these buildings. I visited a mosque while in Morocco and loved the architecture. I was obviously not there for religious reasons. I also visited Cathedrals in Spain and Italy (Milan has a beautiful one). Again to admire the history and architecture.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

No one is being a bigot. But you're being something else. I've already made it clear that I'm not against children learning about other religions. Even if I were that would not make me a bigot. You really should stop using that would until you learn how to use it and not make a fool out of yourself.Originally posted by Ming View PostI drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ...

The parents said no, and they were punished by the government. I'm sorry that you needed more help with that.Originally posted by Giancarlo View PostI drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

I'm a little torn on this one. While I'd like to say that parents should be able to opt their kids out of a field trip, if they just did a class on Islam and tolerence, the parents would probably never know so wouldn't object, so maybe they shouldn't be able to opt out.
I do think that school officials are kind of acting like Dicks for being so adamant. Religion can be kind of a sensitive and personal topic and should be treated accordingly.
That being said, I think the parents are closed minded douches for arguing
Just a dumb reason.In a letter addressed to the school, the father reportedly argued: "For years we have been hearing reports about religiously-motivated violence connected with Islamic people."It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

In Germany, there is violence correlated with neonazis who purport to be Christians.
