Like "التلقين"?
That was a string literal?

Meanwhile, in Kentucky, a school is editing out swaths of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" because they can't ask students to speak in a performance that includes a handful of verses from the Bible.

Yep. Here's another one:

What does that have to do with anything? Is it relevant somehow?

If religion isn't supposed to get special treatment, why are we giving religious books special treatment?

Religion is a set of beliefs. Religious books contain expressions of that belief but are not the religion unless the content is taught. But some people believe you can take a plant, smush it and dilute it with water by half 40 times and it still has effect; and some people evidently believe just touching Arabic calligraphy contaminates their children's faith on contact.
So these kids copied an Arabic expression of faith, that they couldn't read, but now they're all little Muslims.
But the real kicker is Christians will insist that religious teaching in schools would never have the same effect.

It's an innate part of being a human to be afraid of and hostile towards things you don't understand. That's part of what gave humans an evolutionary advantage over, say, dogs.
However, we've won evolution. We don't need to keep being afraid of things that we don't understand because we no longer have to fight for survival. We can use our time to understand things. Whether you use the scientific method or you pull some shit out of your ass, you can probably come up with a reason for things.

This is basically what SJW-ing is all about.
Damn, I must stop reading threads before it's too late.

My question is: did they copy it correctly, right to left?

Well, I'm quite sure they did not. If the teacher had told them to do that, "indoctrination!"

The person who posted that on reddit said she's obsessed with adding the prefix "techno-" to things.
But not cyber-?

Why it was closed:
Which is really weird. But I wonder who thought the calligraphy lesson was a good idea.

I guess censorship is "special treatment", but is that the kind of special treatment you meant?
I mean, if the kid who played Linus stood up and quoted some lines from Hamlet or Shakespeare, nobody would bat an eye. But the Bible... well that's different.
Question, if somebody were to found a religion whose core sacred text is a particular science textbook (say one that teaches evolution), would schools have no choice but to censor that textbook? I mean, if we're throwing out all literary and historical value of books just because they're held sacred by some religion, then it'd make sense.
So these kids copied an Arabic expression of faith, that they couldn't read, but now they're all little Muslims.
Who said they're all Muslims now? Come on.
Why are public schools putting religious text from one religion, Islam, on a school lesson paper if other religions don't get similar treatment?
IIRC the teacher said that they weren't going to give the Bible equal treatment because "all the students have one of those already and read them". What fucking business is it of the public school teacher whether the students are all Christian, to what extent they practice their religion, or if even they practice it at all?
Oh, and how the hell do you know that none of the students could read it? If there were any Muslim students they probably could, or at least knew what it meant. And again, it's none of anybody's fucking business what religion the students practiced at home. You can't assume that none of the students were Muslim any more than you can assume that all of them were Christian.

That sounds like a good idea. Maybe call it the Church of Progressive Science and make Das Kapital and An Inconvenient Truth two of the primary sacred texts.

The trolling effort kind of falls apart without that.

Can someone tell me how this can be done for the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVQ0Pt152Hg
?I have a feeling I'd be interested in the content and YT even gave it to me as a recommendation, but KeepVid just feeds me the same complaint.
-
but KeepVid just feeds me the same complaint.
You'd have to find a downloader website hosted in a country that can view the video.

So, apparently this is a thing for Catalonia at Christmas:
Yes, he is taking a shit. In a nativity scene.

Yes, he is taking a shit. In a nativity scene.
from the wikipedia entry:
Accompanying Mary, Joseph, Jesus, the shepherds and company, the caganer is often tucked away in a corner of the model, typically nowhere near the manger scene.
So not what most think of as the nativity scene as just the manger is common in the states, not the whole town style they use.
-
Regardless, this guy is in their version of a nativity scene. It is a cultural tradition for them.
I am a self-described militant atheist. I just think it is funny that this guy is pinching a loaf in a scene with the (Jeremy Clarkson Voice) Baby Jesus.

I got a card hoping that I find a magical pickle in my Christmas tree. Wikipedia was enlightening on the subject.

Never heard of it before. TIL...
