That's the way to handle it. Those things not liked are just eliminated, no more problem. Isn't the religion of peace wonderful.

A world without music.... they can bally well keep it. I don't think I could live happily without music...but its un Islamic to enjoy music just as it is to paint or provide theatre....in fact come to think of it most of the more civilised attributes of the western world are considered anti islamic They don't do high culture, just base barbarism

George thinks that he'll be immune from the bloodbath once the RoP gains critical mass - as do a few others... he/they are going to get a bit of a shock...

A certain eyeworm (like an earworm, but optical, not audible ) has just flashed into view ... For those not familiar with this, I have sacrificed my sanity to link it... Enjoy - or not...

Tempus Fugit that is very disappointing. Will they simply drop the works of Plato and Aristotle? How about Nietzsche or Sartre? How about the differences between Christian Existentialism and Atheistic Existentialism?
Philosophy doesn't rely on religion, rather religion relies on philosophy. How will they address the philosophical schism of individual free will between Christianity and Islam? How about the failure of the Manichaean dual God Christians to compete with the mono God Christians?
How do they then teach the connections between Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Judaism?
Thankfully such course do still exist but apparently they will increasingly exist outside of the formal schooling.

Changes to philosophy curricula are much ado about nothing. Being able to compare Kant to Nietzsche doesn't pay the rent.
And all that connects religions is one thing: pie-in-the-sky.

Isn't this very similar to the movement away from classical education that's been going on for quite some time? If so, it isn't a secret diabolical plot, but a much discussed sea change in academia, at least over here.

I think you're correct Beth that there has been move away from the classical liberal education. And I believe that you are also right that it isn't some grand conspiracy but rather an increasing belief that such education isn't required.
That some people don't see it as important is true but to others having at least some of these basic understandings (they don't have to be in depth) provide a foundation for people to judge other things. But what the heck, I guess I'd be just happy to see all students be able to read, write, and do match and these capabilities seem to be on the way out.
