Can you demonstrate that the majority of Muslims are asking for a Islamic centric school? Otherwise it is a big leap between one angry parent and a whole community wanting a school.Africentric schools were created to satisfy the wishes of that community. They wanted it, they got it.

You guys love to employ slippery slopes.
True; I think most of us here learned our "abc's" through the song. It's great for helping memory.I agree. I would like to add that music utilizes different parts of the brain that relate to emotions rather than simple problem solving skills.
For me this isn't about race or religion.
The curriculum is created by the Ministry of Education i.e. the government.
I think parents should have the right to decide for themselves what is good for their kids rather being mandated by the government. Now of course I do believe in limits. In this case I don't see the harm in not doing music class. If anything when the kids become teens they will be more interested in music because it is a way to rebel so whether it happens in a classroom or not the kid will eventually get some music appreciation.
Furthermore, I don't have to agree with that parent. But I think it is and should be their right. In fact the school system has systems in place to allow for this. They don't advertise it but when parents do complain they can accommodate.

Um...they don't.And why don't you criticize Toronto School Board for allowing a segregated public school for black kids only . ....
The curriculum is Afro-Centric. The students are any student/parent who wants to register.
I love when people post contradictory statements.I guess no one answered,...because no one said,...at least I NEVER said,... "a guy pulling his kid from music class diminish the rights of everyone else."
But this is Canada,...why justify changing what has worked for so long in Canada,...???...
BTW. In Canada people have always had the choice to remove their kids from certain classes. Why are you trying to change Canada by denying some people rights that the rest of us have enjoyed?
My parents made me take Drama in grade 9. I hated it and knew I'd hate it. I guess they were violating the Canadian way of life.Question: Did anybody ask the kid what he wanted?
Yes, it was your parents choice to allow you to select your electives. What's your point?...My parents gave me complete freedom to choose the 4 electives and yes, I was under the age of 18 at the time.
If they have the choice to remove them from the classes then its not mandatory. The class is either mandatory or not, the Globe in the article says its mandatory.BTW.

Singing in school https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1-vA3Ltq_0But you have no issue with Amish families in Canada not teaching their kids music because they forbid playing instruments ?

Question, should parents be allowed to remove their kids from science classes,...and still move on the next grade,...???
Leaving out the current government's idiotic,..."everybody passes", part of the equation.
FAST
Would you like a list of Muslims playing music as well?Singing in school https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1-vA3Ltq_0

It's a long list....
This thread is stupid. On the one hand the Muslim haters trying to push the lie that Muslims don't like music, on the other hand GoWest trying to equate that to the Amish.
You guys are both jokes.
I didn't argue that there aren't Muslims Musicians. :eyebrows:now you argue that not all Amish ban playing musical instruments, what if I also post youtube videos of muslim musicians?
You've probably never heard of ghazals or Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, either?I didn't argue that there aren't Muslims Musicians. :eyebrows:
Has nothing to do with what I wrote. Have some coffee.You've probably never heard of ghazals or Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, either?
There is no class in elementary school that is mandatory to pass. Kids can skip every day and still be 'socially promoted'.If they have the choice to remove them from the classes then its not mandatory. The class is either mandatory or not, the Globe in the article says its mandatory.
The Globe is clearly using the word as meaning it is part of the standard program and the students can't select a different course. Parents have the right to pull their kids out of classes whether for religious reasons or simply going on vacation.
If the guy wants to pull the kids out of music then it is their loss but in no way denies other kids their rights.
IMO kids should be expected to pass before moving on to the next grade but that's not how elementary schools work in Ontario. They should also provide additional support to those kids to help them catch up.You are missing the point.

...
And no, it's not the "current government". It was policy under Harris as well.
This is a different matter than the thread topic though.
The Amish must be the easiest people to trash on the internet. You know they won't come on a defend themselves.:biggrin-new:...on the other hand GoWest trying to equate that to the Amish.
....
Ok, that explains a lot. It made you what you are to-day.My parents made me take Drama in grade 9.
