    The policy continues in the Vancouver area where the population is just slightly more than 50% white.

    Read about this fellow to see how Canadians react to immigrant communities.

    Read this, then tell me if you still think it's a good idea?

    "Islamic schools in England still segregating children"

    At least 10 schools keeping boys and girls separated at all times despite recent court ruling that it is unlawful"



    And I'll tell you something else - even though it is 'unlawful' the government here won't do anything about it - even if it were inclined to - because they're all ****-scared of being accused of 'racism'. In other words, madrassas, just like Alice, will grow and grow. Schools aren't (or shouldn't be?) places for indoctrination by religious zealots, they're places of learning: trouble is that they're also convenient places of brainwashing too. Wake up before it's too late. Although in our case, it is!

    ** note the opening words in the quoted passage of the article, ie. 'At least' and 'separated all times'?

    Separate boys and girls? No, except in physical education class.
    IMO, we would make a huge mistake if we left Muslims free to indoctrinate their kids because we pandered to a larger number of fundamentalist Christians who want to indoctrinate theirs.

    Why not! They get better grades when they're segregated. Frankly I think it's a private matter, and should be left to the parents. The state should not interfere. We're not the Soviet Union.

    You're really beginning to sound like the Soviet Union. Gulag anyone?

    Like I keep saying (ad nauseam, some would complain? [​IMG] ) - that's 'religion' for you? As in sport the watchword is 'Get 'em young and you've got 'em for life.'

    I believe that rapists and killers have to be ostracized. Even if they are negros or migrants. I am sorry for my Russian view but as a wild person from a wild country I have a very primitive mind.
    I show you how it's happening.

    It's a public, not a private school. Girls don't necessarily get higher grades in good schools. The state shouldn't "interfere?" Ah, the state runs the schools.
    Because I don't want to segregate students by gender in public schools? :roflol:

    Organized religion is slowly dying in the West. I think the religious types are unwilling to let nature take its course.

    I believe in total individual freedom, and that the State shouldn't dictate its own beliefs and have it supersede the beliefs of the parents. Unless of course the parents are endangering the child. In the Soviet Union with its imposed atheism, people of faith were sent to the Gulag. Is this what you want?

    I live in the US, and millions have become so fed up with the State school system, that they home school. The students have to pass certain exams, and it's been found that the home schooled students are anywhere from 2 to 5 years ahead of those who go to public schools - and they also have the extra benefit of acquiring a set of moral and ethical boundaries to live by.

    But look, this doesn't mean I would deny those who think differently the right to do as they please - no matter how detrimental I might feel it is.

    Now that's stupid. Do you know that when Vladimir Putin celebrated the Epiphany by going into the icy water, he received congratulations from Muslim clergy from all over the world.

    The Russian Federation consists of 123 languages and the Muslim population is about 15%. Most live in Islamic Republics within the Federation. Recently Putin said that Islam will be taught in school, probably for the Muslim students so they won't fall for radical ideologies.

    Do you mean "doing something right" is to support those migrants? Oh, It's too sophisticated for my primitive Russian mind. :(

    We can but hope! Unfortunately I don't think you're right. On the other hand, at least western religions are essentially passive, and don't threaten decapitation, or being fried in hot oil if you decline an invitation to prosthletyze?

    To judge from this site, it looks like it's you and me against the world, Jeannette? I now await an accusation of being a Russian troll! :rolleyes:

    Oh dear, I've re-read what I've highlighted. Bad idea, Vlad! In fact it's such a 'bad idea' that I think it might be a means for the Russian security services to identify and then keep tabs on the extremists when they're 'teaching Islam' - that'd make a bit of sense.

    The teacher in a public school can't inculcate students according to each parent's wishes. Most other parents don't want gender segregated classes, so what is the school supposed to do?
    We aren't the Soviet Union. If students want to have Imaginary Friends, it's not the school's place to say they can't.
    Most parents aren't equipped to teach their children beyond elementary school, if that. American schools in many communities have problems, but home schooling isn't the answer.

    A lot of religious parents think keeping the kids at home will enable them to make sure the kids grow up believing. Does it work? Sometimes, I suppose.

    "Today, nearly four in ten (39%) young adults (ages 18-29) are religiously unaffiliated—three times the unaffiliated rate (13%) among seniors (ages 65 and older). While previous generations were also more likely to be religiously unaffiliated in their twenties, young adults today are nearly four times as likely as young adults a generation ago to identify as religiously unaffiliated. In 1986, for example, only 10% of young adults claimed no religious affiliation."​


    There are many polls indicating the same thing.

    Religious faith is part of human nature. The problem is, as Christianity dies in the West, it's being replaced by either Islam with its strict boundaries on human behavior, or neo paganism which has no moral boundaries.


    For the past few years, an average of 300 Christians have been killed every day in the world, while in Russia, where atheism was imposed on the people for 70 years, three churches are being built each day.

    Religious faith, perhaps, but following an organized religion with its contradictions serms to be fading away among educated people.
    But all over the West, organized religion is giving way to spirituality or nonbelief.

    Sorry Jeannette, but 'the meek shall not inherit the earth', the strong and ruthless will.

    How well do the Russians pay for these types of replies? You can't be serious.
