After seeing this article, I feel very disappointed to see:
1) People protesting a religion specifically (even though it isn't given special treatment in the curriculum)
2) seeing Americans think this is a christian country( it is NOT)
I was taught about Islam, Judaism, Christianity (several sects actually), Buddhism, Shintuism, and some ancient religions. We never had people going around screaming and trying to sue my old high school.

From the linked article: "middle school's inclusion of Islam in a World Culture & Geography course"
So, the school doesn't teach Islamism, it teaches about Islamism (and other world religions). That's fine by me. Religious indoctrination at school or otherwise I disagree with. In my opinion religious freedom for the child means it can choose it's religion after it get's 18. Before that no child is a christian, moslem ior whatever, that is religious indoctrination by the parents. So childs should not attend religious services, shouldn't have religion school and stuff like that. But learning about which religions exists in which part of the world is like learning which foods they eat or which sports they do. Nothing wrong with that.
