Some Muslim families in Maryland asking public schools to accommodate their religion. Hmm last time I checked religions was not allowed in school, Now they want special praying times with prayer mats, what should they be allowed to interrupt classes so they can pray? do they want every muslim holiday off I mean geez you cant give them the whole friggen month off so they can do their Ramadan thing, you just cant do it. They want special menus for their diet, that I could live with. But the actaul practice of religion is not allowed in public school, and other religions dont get special treatment either, hell in some districts you cant have "christmas" partys, we dont interrupt classes to let Catholics have confession during 5th period. Religion should be kept out of the public schools, if you want special treatment because of your religion, then go to a religious school.

i know alot of you dont like B. O'reilly but he was right on here:

Alright, who cares, chill out. I'm actually very disgusted that you posted a link to the Fox New on this forum. Second of all, how many people are supporting this? Every Muslim in America? Don't think so. So stop blowing up some stupid incident into a huge revolutionary event. And what do you care about schools anyway? I thought you wanted to increase the military budget, which is getting more than twice the amount of funding as schools are in America. I believe other religious groups have also been pushing for that crap too. Like the ten commandments on the wall and so on? Why don't you mention them? Or some Mormons that want days off for Sabbath.

Have a nice life.
