Would you want your pre-K child to be taught by a Muslim?

Wheres the "I don't have kids, but I'm going to post my opinion 25 times in this thread!" option?

And Dr. Dave. If she tries to push her beliefs on your child, go up there and raise holy hell about it, demand her firing. And if you don't get it, sue their asses off. There are laws about that stuff on the books, and school districts really don't like getting sued. This is based on the assumption that your kiddo is in public school. If it's private school they can be taught almost anything the school wants as long as they meet the scholastic standards the state has lined out.

Two down!

In the same place the "I asked for opinions, and didn't exclude those of people without kids" option is.

Unless the teacher can prove that Little Billy's 25 virgins won't be all fat and ugly..

And its pre-k, do you really think your child is smart enough to take religious beliefs?

He probably can't even decide if he wants to wear spiderman shoes or sponge bob shoes to school.

Do they get less than half if they haven't become a man yet? I was under the impression it was 72.

I guess....i just don't know how people can have an opinion on something they know nothing about......

though i'm sure i've been guilty of it a time or two....proceed

As far as the day to day mechanics of raising a child, I'd be inclined to agree with you, but to let something such as this cause an argument between a married couple, IMO, is asinine.

Now, were she teaching a subject in middle school or HS that she can inject her beliefs into, such as government or history, then I could see it as a cause for concern. But he's 4, and it's pre-k. Worst case scenario, she tells him to set up the blocks like a mosque.

I only have a HS diploma, don't let you not being in school stop you from learning.

Our opinions may not matter, but they are exactly what he was asking for.

We had a teacher that held an obama rally pre-election (unknown to parents) at school, suddenly our son was coming home with the full line of liberal obama propaganda in his head, telling us why he should be elected and why WE should be electing him. The next day, hell the next morning, my wife and I was both in the principles office, and after one hell of a heated discussion with the teacher and principle, our child was moved to a more moderate teachers class. It took me threatening to call the local television channels to get my child removed from that bitches class. After the transfer, his grades jumped 2letter grades, I still attribute it to the fact that he was the sole white in the class, there were three mexican kids, so four light skinned in a group with 20-ish dark-skinned, with a dark-skinned obama-barking teacher.

Believe what you want, but I have never seen a teacher in my 12 years of public school, 2 years of JC, 11 years of my daughters schooling, or the combined 12 years of my two sons have a single teacher that did not weave either her religious or political beliefs at some point into the classroom. Since this is Texas, most of it I agreed with to an extent, but some, hell no.

I rather my children be taught without any religious influence to be honest, that way I can help explore with my kids how and which they would like to observe.I recently have been discussing Christianity with my son, ans it seems he is very interested in it, he is reading his bible, etc. I could go one with this story, but it may be better in the theology forum, even though I have never posted there.


Anyways, I'm sure I'll be proven wrong by someone that is/knows/was a teacher, but every teacher I have had direct contact over the years has either directly or indirectly influenced the political and religious beliefs of their students, some subtly, some not so subtly.

you know 3-5 are some of the most formative years in a child's life right?
