Re: Do the Islamic high schools in the US have the same problems as regular high scho
TDW - In Australia - the books are imported from the UK, Saudi Arabia, India and pakistan. They are screened for having no hate material in them.
At work a Shia Arab girl from one of these Islamic school joined us. She was friendly and a very good worker. But, she did believe that the Shias were the tolerant muslims, whereas the Sunnis were the funatics causing worldwide problems.
I would rather we put our children in a public school - where the kids will grow up with all sorts of children and accept the small differences we have (in religion, language, culture, skin colour etc).
Doesn't mean she learned that in school. Plenty of public educated students wouldn't know if India and Iran are not the same countries, and probably think Sikh and Arabs are the same turban wearing people.
