Can't Say I Agree With This

Well as you know, at least those who are regular readers, i try not to blog about issues in other countries, unless it correlates to something going on here. Something we can relate to our political situation. But it isn't very often i just blog about issues other countries are having.

However i will step outside of this box i have put up about my blog. This post is about something going on in the UK. It has nothing with us here in the US, but if the crazy's here in this country catch wind, it is just a matter of time.

I believe that schools should teach of all major religions in public school's (at least until we Libertarians get our way and it is turned into a private entity that government has no say or regulation on), but only from the stand point to tell about they are about, but that is it. At no point should school force the students to ever do any religious functions in the process of learning. Especially not to the point of punishing students.

Well in the UK, there has been an incident that should have never taken place. There is a public school that was teaching on the Muslim faith. Now don't get me wrong, i have no problem with other faiths and what they believe, it is not what i believe in, but they have the freedom to believe in what ever religion they see fit, regardless of how right or wrong it is to me. But this school took it too far. During the lessons on Muslim, the teacher made them all meet and take part in the Muslim prayers. I have a problem with this.

Well the students who didn't participate in the prayers, were suspended.

I object most definitely with this. I feel it is ok to teach of other religions, because i believe we can all learn from others and their beliefs. But never should someone be forced, to the point of punishment, to participate in the religious activity.

I feel, we as citizens, have to stand up for situations from taking place. Because, as most of us know, if we don't, our children will forced here at home to endure the same activities regardless of how we as parents feel about it.

Viva Liberty!
