Guess everyone wants their own Trudashians

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/peel-board-muslim-prayer-policy-1.3930264 Protesters appeared carrying signs with anti-Islamic messages, which board trustees told them to put away. Two police officers took a woman outside after she began a racially-charged outburst. Global News reported on it but the signs were not anti Islamic, only anti religion in schools, so now apparently saying there is no place for religion inside a public school is anti Islamic. The female speaker is an ex Muslim. Speaking of religious accommodation, why are Ontario school boards allowing prayers in our secular schools, the Lord's Prayer was removed. |

I'm for one public school system and those who want religious education can have it after school hours or at home. I so agree! |

Parents have a duty to protect their children from harm. Religion is probably the greatest harm children can be exposed to. IMO. The superstitions can be interesting if presented in the proper context. But that is seldom the case, certainly judging from my exposure to the utter unbelievable nonsense. I do love "In God We Trust". Americans carry it in their pockets. |
