If the pledge of allegiance can be banned, other religions should not be in schools either. It isn't that hard...

 

It was never banned. It simply gave kids the option to either do it or not.

 

Also, look at the class name: World religion

 

Not history, not math, not cooking class, a WORLD RELIGION class. If students are going to cry because they have to learn about another religion, then they shouldn't be in it!

 

I don't like many religions, but I'll be fine if I write down some religious text. 

 

This was the very question I was going to ask. This post answers my question, which was, are they only teaching islam? I'm assuming no. That this is just one of many religions they will be learning about. In that case, I'd be ok with it. But if that's the only one, when there are so many, I'd wonder why just that one? Being a world religion class, Islam, among many others, wouldn't bother me, being taught to my kids.
