Reporter perhaps the most divisive religion today is islam and some Maryland County parents are objecting to the way its being taught in a which is room. One classroom. One parent is a retired firefighter and ex marine and said he watched as his friends lost their lives to those extremists, but mainstream islamists argue those extremists do not represent islam. As kevin woods daughter recently worked on a World History assignment, he asked her what . Islam. I kind of hesitated and i said no.

Its not the schools responsibility to teach that. History, culture and how they relate makes sense. If youre going to be able to live in an integrated society, its better to understand it than fear it. If i dont know what the competing views say, they how can i rationally discuss truth . Were not trying to challenge other peoples views. These are our views. But theyre trying to challenge our views. Reporter the challenges seem to be everywhere about.

As for the players hes probably ready to have consistency under center and probably really tired about answering questions about rg3 and his recovery, but all of his teammates say he looks ready to go.
