Separating Public Schools and Organized Religious Practice

[exmuslimforever]

Just a note to those muslims who shout about "their right to free speech and power". Listen guy, using democracy and freedom to get your propaganda out there -however twisted- so you can get the countries you are in changed over time to islamic states is a well known tactic, pretending to play it right but once you get in power then it is SHARIA law and you then show your real faces. I was a muslim - I know the book.

@exmuslimforever Next time Muslims lecture on freedom of religion, ask them why there are no churches in Saudi Arabia.

If you want to pray, then fine, then pray! But do it in a church, a mosque, a temple, in your own home.

Workplaces and schools are not places of worship. Got that?

The problem is that the majority of the students in these schools are Muslim (or Mandarin Chinese in the case in Windsor) and in a public school system, and we live in a democracy. The proper solution is getting government out of education entirely.

Free people have the right to practice their religions anywhere they want, publicly or privately. The separation of church from state only means government cannot sanction a national religion.

You have no rightt to not be offended or to not see public religious displays.

Anti-religious bigotry is hatred like all bigotry. You must learn to accept diversity and not oppress religious peoples because you hate religion.

Secular atheists impose their views by controlling public spaces.

@islandmuffin There is a right to not have your money spent on something you find offensive. If someone finds the sponsoring of religious organisations offensive then they shouldn't have their tax money spent on it. As far as I saw, the Freedom Party platform did not say they will ban people from opening their own religious private schools, or ban people from practicing their own religions on their own dime & in their own time.

@dannidandannikins In a free society, you have no right not to be offended.

If you support free speech, then you must support the right of people to say and do things that you disagree with. Religious expression is a fundamental freedom.

Taxpayer dollars go to lots of things I am offended by, especially the welfare state. But my taking offense is meaningless.

@islandmuffin Do humans have a right to property? if so then no one has the right to take it from you by force - with the threat of jail time for non-compliance. One absolutely has the right to be offended by people doing this because it is a negation of your rights and, therefore, a negation of your life. This is the case whether they happen to spend it on something you approve of or not; but when they spend your money on something you oppose it is doubly offensive and doubly indefensible.

Sounds intresting, but schools are for attaining the facts and while religions have intresting stories they just don't meet the criteria for real knowledge on credible subjects.
