I'd agree with he poster above who said children are seldom 'coerced' into learning anything in public schools. They're exposed to ideas and cultures that may not jibe with some parents' own, and those same parents choose to make an almighty stink about it. I can believe that children from a minority background may sometimes feel more pressured in the US to participate in Christ-centered observances, but even there I suspect that some of the claims of pressuring originate more from the parents (and their legal advisors) than from the actual school activities being practiced. My feeling is that school is a primary place to begin learning respect and gaining knowledge about all cultures and peoples, and private, individual religious bias shouldn't be allowed a place at the table. In that case, they should be teaching about world religions IN GENERAL, not just Islam. What evidence do you have that 'they' are not?
