It also doesn't say that they're going to be hung upside down by their toes, but I choose to assume that they won't do something like that because it would be wrong, and there's no reason to think that they would. Unless you're hysterically paranoid about Islam.

The same could be said about the Atheists writing nearly every school in America if they even sense anything christian happening, right?
I thinks its hilarious that you think you can guilt me or make me feel weird about whats right. Keep doing it, its waking up America.
If a Muslim coach lead their team in a public school in a Muslim prayer, would you be ok with that?
Coach leading, no, student leading, yes. Coach participating in student led prayer, yes.
I believe in freedom of religion.
Now lets get back to the point, a public school having an islamist teach about islam is not ok, when its not ok for christianity to be taught by the school. Cant have it both ways.
Great. Then we completely agree on that point. And I completely support the same were you to replace "Muslim" with "Christian". And that is completely allowed in public schools. That's freedom of religion. So there's no need to play the victim or pretend that it's unfair to Christians.
The school can't advocate Christianity. But they can teach the facts about the religion, and they can bring in representatives of Christianity in circumstances just like this class describes. That's completely fair to do.
Why do you assume that you're the victim with no evidence?
Thats false, they cannot, and thats the point, and if they cannot do so with christianity, they cannot do so with islam.
How many recent links would you like where anything about Christianity cannot be presented by a public school?
It's not false, but I agree that the rules have to be fair.
Just one would do it.
School Orders Coaches to Stop Praying with Football Players
Keep in mind also, these are student led prayers and coaches are told they cannot participate.
Thats one for you. But ill give you even more:

Judge Rules Against Christian Teacher Who Displayed Bible Verses in Classroom
I can post tons of others too and you know it.
Not only was it ruled he couldnt speak about his faith, bible verses were removed.
...because the coach is a government employee on work time. Allowing the coach to participate would entangle the government with the prayer and appear to be an endorsement. And the very fact that the order only applies to the coach implies that the students are left free to express their religion of their own accord.
Try again.
If this were a Muslim prayer, would you be ok with it?
The superintendent was wrong, and apologized. Presumably that means that the students will be free to hold their prayer group going forward.
Placing the Bible verses in the classroom puts them in a position of apparent endorsement. Obviously.
Got any that are relevant?
Those are all relevant, especially the first, if a teacher can have a muslim teach about islam to her class, the coach should be able to pray with the students who led a prayer.

Where are you getting the idea that a christian pastor wouldn't be ok to give a talk about what christianity is in this social studies class as part of a series of speakers?
Perhaps you should reevaluate your beliefs and reexamine the fake news stories you've been reading in light of holding a patently false belief.
I disagree, because the participation of the coach adds the appearance of the endorsement of the state, and the courts have generally sided with me, and this isn't a case of Islam being treated differently from Christianity. You simply haven't compared a similar situation.
