I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the gently caress out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my loving words. You think you can get away with saying that poo poo to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re loving dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable rear end off the face of the continent, you little poo poo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your loving tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will poo poo fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re loving dead, kiddo.

I wish that when people get in a tiffy like this, we as a society could have a global catch phrase that we tell them, signifying that they are overreacting and need to chill the gently caress out. It would be a household phrase, like "xyz", so people know what it means and couldn't argue. I think "shut the gently caress up, you loving baby" would suffice.

Asking people to write down an oath of religious belief is pretty dubious, even if the reactions to it here are overblown. Like, I'd look askance at students being assigned to copy down the nicene creed.

That's crazy, next thing you know they'll have students reciting a "pledge of allegiance" to a nation under god or something.

Allah forbid you get a different perspective on the world than you own narrow one. These are the same types of parents that came unhinged over the rampant satan worship that plagued teenagers in the 80's and 90's. And by rampant of course I mean nonexistent.

Superintendent: OK teachers, I've had a number of you request Friday off but I can't give it to you. Teacher: How about if we manufacture a fake emergency? Something to to with Islamoterrorism, maybe? Superintendent: Sounds good. I'll leave the details to you. Everyone take Friday off! Teachers: yay

I agree that the parents who are freaking about this need to pull their heads out of their asses, but really looking at the teacher wtf did she think was going to happen? Have the kids try to copy down some script that says "I am a Christian" or "lollygagger" or "Hail Satan" or literally anything other than part of the conversion phrases. Unless she and the school board was somehow angling for a controversy to get their backwater little er, backwater some attention in which case mission loving accomplished you all look horrible.

What lesson does literally copying script even achieve? Like if the question was: "What are the five pillars of Islam?" Then maybe "There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet" would make sense. But this is just pointless busywork.

I went to school when they could still do corporal punishment for not saying the pledge of allegiance so. why don't they just practice with a non religious statement though? I think it's provocative at worst, not on the Muslim issue but the religion in schools issue. I wonder if the people getting pissed off would still be pissed off if it was then Lord's Prayer or some poo poo.
