Wow! I encourage you to work on your critical thinking skills as your position reflects an astonishing lack of depth. Religious belief affects behavior, since the beliefs themselves are irrational, then the behavior inspired by these beliefs has a high likelihood of being irrational as well. I can only have so much respect for a person that believes that the world is only 10,000 to 15,000 years old. As this belief is indicative of a complete departure from demonstrable reality. That is one example of the irrational beliefs which Christians typically hold and if I can't judge people on this basis than what basis can I judge anything on? Religious thinking is aberrant and dangerous to society it has inflicted irreparable harm to the state of the world. How could I possibly not condemn such beliefs in good conscience?
Like I said in my video your entitled to your opinion. But it really baffles me how your so strong in your opinion and never take the time to listen to other feelings! Well correct me if I'm wrong but I do believe your the one who said you don't want to communicate with a woman wearing a hijab, and your whole reasoning behind that lacked depth. Lastly I cant understand why you think that K-12 isn't neutral towards religion, I guess it's just your anti-theistic views!

I would like to address your accusation about the lack of reasoning behind my aversion for people dressed in religious clothing. When I introduced that statement into the conversation in class I didn't exactly have an opportunity to develop it because I was being screamed at by 20 people. But just to clarify, I VEHEMENTLY disagree with the de-sexualization of women that is promoted by Islam, therefore I can't converse with a person who embraces that ideology without addressing this issue. Because I don't want to spend all of my time arguing with Muslim women I prefer just not to speak to them at all. This ties back into my point about maintaining a nuetral environment in K-12 schooling, because if religion is allowed to be ostensibly practiced then it will taint the interactions between students.
@ Novalis: If you ask a student to remove a garment or piece of clothing representative of their religious beliefs, do you not believe that this will taint interactions between students as well? Do you not believe that restricting individuals' freedom of expression by saying they cannot wear religious garments because they affect your social interaction with them will "taint" the student and perhaps cause culture shock? Regardless of whether an individual wears anything representative of their religious beliefs, it is sometimes obvious that they have a different religion from your own, so your rationale is not comprehendable nor logical either. It appears that you want the world to change for you. It seems as if it's all about you and what you want. You are not a part of Congress and you are not a dictator. If you don't like to see people expressing themselves through their religious garments, you need to close your eyes or relocate to a country outside of the United States because in the United States, you will see this regardless of whether you want to or do not. Your reasoning has no logic and is totally one-dimensional. I am still flabbergasted.
Actually, it would be beneficial, as evidenced by societies who do not allow the free practice of religion in the context of public education, to create a neutral zone where the interactions between students are predicated upon a common desire for knowledge, and not a divisive prejudice caused by religious differentiation. These garments are simply a distraction from the purpose of the institution of public schooling, which is to increase the knowledge and understanding of students. Any type of clothing that identifies you as a member of a group has been frowned upon by school boards across the country why is religious dress exempted from critical evaluation?
You go to Victory? Me too!
