    Unnecessary fear.

    Some pupils refused the assignment and parents accused the teacher of indoctrination.

    ..yep, saw a video of a pupil saying why couldn't they just have wrote hello or something..

    To make it less offensive.. And yet totally relevant to Islam and mosques and use of calligraphic writing.

    Fantastic...

    I understand though, I was in school once.

    Re: Virginia schools shut in Islam calligraphy row

    Greetings,

    I saw this article on CNN. This is what xenophobia does to simple-minded people. Let's also boycott The 13th Warrior movie because "Muslim" Antonio Banderas teaches this famous quote to an illiterate viking. Ridiculous.

    This kind of attitude is anti-knowledge and anti-education. Teaching young people about different cultures is all part of a well-rounded education. I want my children to understand and appreciate that their culture is not the only one that exists in the history of the world. We can learn from other cultures.

    This story just annoys me.
