6 hrs · OK, I can't find it now, but there's a post going around like..SHARE IF YOU THINK TRUMP SHOULD BAN ISLAM IN SCHOOLS. My gut reaction is "YES". But, I think it can and SHOULD be taught just as other religions and cultures are/should be taught. This country was built on FREEDOM OF RELIGION. I also think most of us (myself included) do not know much about Islam or Muslims, except what we've heard on the news. While the news can be helpful, if we don't educate ourselves we breed IGNORANCE. Our kids have to be more tolerant than we did growing up. My kids have been in church every Sunday since they were born, I know they're secure in their faith. While there are certain activities I hope they don't get involved in, I don't want them to be prejudice of people simply because some people are terrorist. We have Americans who can be just as dangerous as ANYONE from another country. I pray that people see God in my kids. There's a saying that say "You may be the only gospel someone ever sees." I want them to judge people by their hearts not because of what they have been told of something that Someone from their country did. I know this may not be a popular post, but I hope it may cause people to really stop and think about what we are teaching our kids. both love and hate grows. What do you want in your heart?
