From Vlad Tepes:
A school district superintendent in semi-rural Southern California has completely outlawed all drawings of all religious leaders on campus because a history teacher assigned a vocabulary worksheet that asked students to draw images of Muhammad.
Acton-Agua Dulce Unified School District superintendent Brent Woodard implemented the far-reaching ban after a single parent complained, reports the Los Angeles Daily News.
The seventh-grade history assignment at High Desert School in Acton, Calif. was a worksheet called “Vocabulary Pictures: The Rise of Islam.”
It featured several words including Quran, Mecca, Bedouins and Muhammad.
There was space for students to sketch their own images representing the various words.
The parent who found the assignment offensive is Melinda Van Stone, a chiropractor in nearby Palmdale.GO GET THE REST OF THE STORY.
Religion (along with government, business, the media, and academia) is one of the great organizing powers of a society.
Therefore, it is necessary that religion be open to criticism, or else there is no correction available to the inevitable abuses that arise whenever human beings sit in power over even the most perfect of systems.
We would never imagine eliminating criticism of business, or of government, so why would we entertain any notion that religion is beyond criticism. That is absurd.
Fuck Islam.
