6:35Now PlayingA mom in Tennessee is furious that her daughter was required to learn about other religions other than Christianity. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“A Tennessee mother has launched a crusade against the textbooks used in the local school district after she found out her daughter was learning about Islam as part of the 7th grade social studies curriculum.
Michelle Edmisten claims her daughter’s “personal religious beliefs were violated” with lessons about Islam, according to the Kingsport Times News. Her daughter opted out of those classes and was given zeroes for refusing the work.
“Those are zeroes that we proudly took and we will not compromise,” Edmisten was quoted as saying.
