ACLU and Freedom from religion foundation is completely absent. Courts side with school. School is allowed to force students to write a Muslim prayer.

LINK

quote:

When Wood was a junior, one of her teachers told her to write the Muslim conversion prayer called the Shahada, which states: “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”

Wood refused to complete the assignment. She requested an alternative assignment, but the school denied her, so she failed the assignment.

... Then the teacher forced Wood and her classmates to view subjective PowerPoint slides that belittled Christian students, according to the petition.

One said, “Most Muslims’ faith is stronger than the average Christian.”

Others said, “Islam at heart is a peaceful religion,” and Jihad is a “personal struggle in devotion to Islam, especially involving spiritual discipline,” and “Islam at heart is a peaceful religion.”

The high school’s content specialist, Jack Tuttle, said the comparisons between Christians and Muslims was not appropriate.


lol at the absence of the FFRF who all libs say is “uhhginst all relighun equally”

Does this school also make Muslims write the opposite?

Does it make Jews write out the full text of “God?”

I don’t see how that’s any different.

Have you heard anything about it nonstop on cable news with the head of the FFRF screaming bloody murder?

If they use body counts over the last 500 years as the measure, this is probably accurate.

This is a flat fricking lie.

Well this is what should be front and center in the argument. Why is a religion even being talked about in a public school. If it's now illegal to say a prayer before a ballgame then any mention of religion in school should be taboo.

SCOTUS rejected the case, but don't let me stop you from pushing your narrative.

Muslims claim that Allah is the greatest deceiver.
I have to agree.

Why do you think they did that? Instead of doing what they should have done and ruled against the school

If that was my daughter you can bet she wouldn't be writing a God damned thing. And that teacher when he least expected it would get an arse beating he would not soon forget.

Because there's a massive, high-level conspiracy to persecute the supermajority in the United States.

Any student in that class who wants to make a big stink can abstain on religious grounds and probably get a free ride at least to college. And if they get a failing grade on the assignment, start a new lawsuit and win.

Eventually some will seek to form a separate nation-state on this land that we call America.

I thought we had a conservative Supreme Court. You mean that Thomas or Roberts or some other conservative and Trump appointee didn't want this case heard?

My guess is that Trump et al like making money dealing with muslims over Christianity.

So I guess no one will say a word if a school requires a student to write a Christian prayer.

Who cares what SCOTUS did. Is it ok or not ok to force a student to participate in a religious ritual or not?

Yes or no.
