Conquering us from within

My only question is why wasn't every last parent removing his or her kid from this poison:

Parents said they discovered that what their children were learning about Islam was more about the tenets of the faith than the history of the religion, according to KTLA.  One question asked the students to write down teachings from the Koran. 
The father continued, “What I saw written in these bubbles was, ‘The one true God, Allah’ in one of the bubbles. In one of the other bubbles was ‘All people must submit to Allah,’ in another bubble. The I turned the page over and I see the five pillars of Islam.” 
The parents assert that the students should be taught the history behind the religions, whether it is Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, or others, but not the tenets of the faith. 
Father: “Can you imagine the outcry all over this country if children were bringing home paperwork that asked them to write down John 3:16, or asked them to write down the 10 Commandments?” 
Mother: “And if it ended with the Declaration of the Faith, Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior? That’s what the equivalent, I mean, part of us, for our son? We’d be happy about that." 
Father: “But some parents may not be.” 
The parents talked to the principal, but the school refused to change the schoolwork, prompting the parents to remove their son from the class. 

I want to know more about the teacher, too - and whoever it was that developed the curriculum.

  1. And I'd like to talk to other parents of kids in the class too and examine how other religions are treated. Books and curricula are challenged all the time nearly everywhere.

  2. Have you found out anything about what the other parents have to say about this? That might be telling.
