Rather than shoving Islam down our throats this sounds more like some prejudicial uptight asshole getting his undies in a bunch because his kid is being asked to learn about something that happens somewhere besides the rock they live under.

The daughter wasn't made to affirm anything. Look up the definition of "affirm"

If you look at the worksheet (available if you google it), everything is based on historical writings and given a premise to be taught in school.
None of the materials in question are religiously indoctrinating in nature and the lesson is a part of a larger world history curriculum.

From a statement issued by Charles County Public Schools, the district in which La Plata High School is located:

"Other religions are introduced when they influence or impact a particular historical era or geographic region. For example, when reviewing the Renaissance and Reformation, students study the concepts and role of Christianity. When learning about the development of China and India, students examine Hinduism and Buddhism."



The class is called World History-not shallow American hide from the world.
Our children need, no deserve, to be educated and informed about all aspects of the world in which they live.
Hiding your head in the ground, ignoring what is around you is not the way to live and I will never keep my children in the dark about anything, good or bad.
I am chosen by many but taken by no one.

My god the bitching about this incident is cringeworthy.

Nothing about the assignment was indoctrination. The assignment asked about some basic tenants of Islam. If that's indoctrination than we also indoctrinate kids in Christianity when discussing the Protestant Reformation in history classes.

And while you're bitching that the students had to recount what the five pillars are or that Muslims believe their faith is a continuation of the monotheism of Judaism and Christianity, your lot have missed what's actually wrong with the assignment. Case in point, it asked how Muslims treated the people they conquered. What? It wasn't a uniform policy; you're talking about a multitude of empires and dynasties led by individuals with conflicting interpretations of their faith, spreading across three continents. On one end, you you have slavery and castration; on the other, you have groups of Christians, Jews and other outsiders allowed to freely practice their faith and fit in society. But you can't capture that complexity in any detail or with any accuracy in a space designed for a one line answer. Shit assignment, but not indoctrination.

And as for the assertion that Christians couldn't get away with indoctrination in this country, Texas Board of Education just approved a textbook that credits Moses with American democracy... Just absurd.

Perhaps I'm still young enough to remember my world history class, but I do recall having to read chapters about the major religions in the world.

I remember studying all the regions of the world, and learning about the dominate religions in those regions. I also recall learning about the impact religions had throughout history. Obviously, Islam and Christianity were included. You really can't learn about history without talking about those two religions.

For the record, I used the words learning and studying lightly here.
