Immorality of Public Schools

Absolutely fantastic argument. Thomas Jefferson stated that it is immoral to force people to propagate ideas which they find abhorrent, and Dr. Whaley's comments agree with Thomas Jefferson.

The idea that any public school would propagate Islam, whose tenets are diametrically opposed to so many of our cherished institutions and beliefs, is an outrage.

"To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." --- Thomas Jefferson
