Schools tend to discourage hate speech. (Remeber minors, especially
pre-teens, have limited free-speech protection, and they have *less*
protection when at school.) Virulent anti-Islamic statements at school or
worse, slurs directed at actual people are likely to result in some sort of
sensitivity training. This is indoctrination, no matter what supporters
might say. In that sort of environment the trainee WILL have to study Islam,
and depending on the program might actually have to study and/or memorize
verses from the Quran. NOTE that the intent would not be conversion (that
would be unconstitional). The hope is that the trainee will be less
suceptible to hateful ideas and have an attitude more suited to living and
working peacfully and productively in a multi-racial and multi-ethnic
country.
Just to be stupid here. But wouldn't it be more sensible if the student
got to meet people from the group that is being slandered by him. Often
it is the fear of the unknown that makes people hate. A week or even a
day in a moslim family would probably achieve a whole lot more than a
year studying the quran.
