Here’s a hint, the picture, if actually is the school in question, says High School, so probably grade 9 thru 12 , so maybe 14 ish thru 18 ish? Some maybe 13 , dumb ones on sports scholarship 22 ?

It sounds like the suit was brought by Jewish (8), Hindu (1), and Zoroastrian (1) families. Apparently they signed permission slips but didn't like the fact that the girls were forced/encouraged to wear hijabs and that the kids were given Qurans. They REALLY didn't like that the kids were photographed inside the mosque and that those photos were published online.

You'll be ranting and raving about Catholics even up to the moment when the Islamic scimitar is slashing through your neck bones.

Yeah… if they’re not Muslim, they’re not supposed to be allowed inside.

Also, those parents have a ton of money to spend on lawyers especially if they’re splitting the bill 10 ways. They’re going to make bank on this settlement.

I'd want to know more. Was there a lesson planned? Did they just show up and observe? Or was there some kind of prayer or activity? If it was just a tour and learning about Islam, I don't see the issue. If they were pressured to participate, that's different. But a lawsuit seems extreme. Talk to the school first.

Had a flashback of something I hadnt thought of in years.

Are you sure about that?

quote:

As a kid I was watching Jeopardy and the category was religion. The question: This title is used to signify God over 1700 times in the bible.

I checked the jeopardy archive online and could find no such clue.

quote:

All three contestants guessed and all three got it wrong, one said Jehovah, I forget the other answers.

I’m not buying it.

quote:

It was so foreign to me, how could three adults not know the answer, it never occurred to me that people didnt have any knowledge of the bible. The answer of course is Lord.

A couple of funny things. Depending on which “the Bible” you are referring to, the divine name - the Tetragrammaton - YHWH in English letters, commonly called “Yahweh”, is translated as “the LORD” and sometimes even “Jehovah”. So in your make-believe Jeopardy episode, both Jehovah and the LORD would have been correct, if the number of examples in the Bible would have been well over 7,000, not 1,700.

If you’ll check out Young’s literal translation and the American Standard Version of 1901, those have “Jehovah” everywhere modern English translations use “the LORD”.

And “Jehovah” as a name was a mistake due to the Masorites inventing Hebrew vowels but inserting the vowels for “Adonai” into the Tetragrammaton. When a Jew read the Tetragrammaton, he was supposed to say “Adonai” because if he said “Yahweh” he could have angered the deity for using his name in vain, so they thought. So they just decided to never say the name of their deity and just call him Adonai - or my LORD. The first English Bible translations in the 1500s used the word “Jehovah” because it was a literal translation of the Tetragrammaton with the vowels of Adonai mixed into it. Had they known the Masorites did this, they might have translated it into “Yahweh” from the beginning. Instead of having Jehovah’s Witnesses today, they might instead be called Yahweh’s Witnesses.

Brother, pay attention. Your leadership wants to merge with Islam, inviting them in to the fold for unification of faiths.

They’re right to sue and more. Zero reason for this beyond an obvious attempt to use those kids as props for political purposes. The people in charge of that school should be deported right along with the muzzies.

Palo Alto and the Leftist monstrosity known as Public Education believe Islam is a religion. It's nothing more than a death cult

That's my high school.

We didn't have this course in the 90's but we did have a class called California Experience where we went to the beach every week.

Sounds a lot less fun now.
