At various places around the United States, arguments are beginning to surface that attempts to accommodate Muslims in fact amount to anti-Christian discrimination. Cincinnati, Ohio's WCPO yesterday reported that some Mason, Ohio residents complained that Mason High School was discriminating against Christian students when it made noon-time office space available to two Muslim students during Ramadan so that they could avoid being in the cafeteria while they were fasting. A Mason school board member argued that this was part of a pattern of forcing Christianity out of the school hallways. Other examples she cited were the renaming of "Easter Break" as "Spring Break"and the banning of nativity scenes on school property.
Meanwhile, the Thomas More Law Center objected to sensitivity training regarding Ramadan given to U.S. military personnel in Iraq. Agape Press yesterday reported that Edward L. White III, trial counsel for the Center, says that the courts, the schools, and even the military are favoring religions that do not represent the values and traditions of America.
