Song about Islam wasn't meant to offend, Ocean View school district says after parent airs concerns

5. These days it's smarter in schools to keep your distance altogether

Schools need to make children feel safe, and bringing up any part of something frightening that's been all over the news is asking for confrontation.

Not putting an opinion on this particular circumstance, I'm just thinking that children will associate the wrong idea about just about anything, if they connect things together.

If there are muslim kids in that school, I feel it's better to leave the whole thing out so that school can be a break from all of the fear mongering.

Some families are telling their children really improper, hateful things, and they'll get everything mixed up together. There are so many avenues for misunderstanding, and children often take bits and pieces of larger ideas without understanding the whole.

I'm not sure why any student would even need to memorize the principles of a religion in a public school.
