I've always wondered when they shove their noses into the carpet, how do they know that someone who had stepped in dog sh*t didn't just walk there?

That lineup of girls in the back row could be the ones who have to be set aside because of a particular biological function in progress.  

In Mohammedan countries, when the town crier shrieks his discordant yelps from the top of a minaret, everyone walking the city streets has to stop and face a particular direction and go through this bowing and scraping routine.  Anyone who ignores the call and keeps walking risks being arrested and thrown into jail.  

Maybe the schools can start to incarcerate unwilling students, since it would be an authentic cultural experience.  

I know a man who was a captain in the civilian militant corps in Lebanon when the Mohammedans came to attack that country.  He commanded a tank.  He has a lot of personal experience with Mohammedism and its effects.  When a local school here in Los Angeles (actually it was a parish Catholic school) attempted to teach his son about Allah, he made a bee-line for the Principal's office and gave her what for on the topic.  

She didn't know what hit her.  Within the hour all mention of Allah was removed from the curriculum.

Looks like this photo was actually taken in the Netherlands.

I'm not too sure snopes has their ducks in a row.

Here's an interesting post from a (minute 43 in YouTube video mentions this "lifeboat" exercise):

Marie Katherine4 weeks ago

We had to do the lifeboat nonsense in sixth grade.  I immediately sensed there was "something wrong" with the activity itself.  We were told we HAD to come to a group consensus, and yet would be graded individually!  My group "decided" to first ask for volunteers from among the elderly, retarded, and unwell!  If none volunteered, then the sick people would not be fed so that they'd die first.  The elderly, except for the Navy navigator, would be next as they became too weak to fight.  The retarded man would be killed as soon as he became combative.  A few bodies would be saved for use as fish bait.  Clothes would be saved and made into a shelter from the sun.  After my initial proposal, that we all pray, share the rations according to need, and let what happened up to God---maybe we'd be rescued before we found land, I was squeezed out of the group.  The exercise said we MUST come up with a plan based on being at sea for 30 days.  

I pulled out my notebook and wrote first, that the exercise was useless.  Really, what chance was there of any one of us being in such a predicament?  Second of all, the exercise was asking 11 year olds to play God.  Who were we to judge one life better than another?  Third, the assignment was resulting in kids fighting and arguing.  Kids were being bullied into agreeing to something to which they objected under threat of a bad grade.  By then, I was so upset, I became physically ill with what I now know was a full blown panic attack.  I was sent to the nurse, but didn't go there.  Instead, I went to the bathroom where I crawled under the last stall with the "Out of Order" sign on the door.  I hid there until the bell rang for math class.  I spent the rest of that day and weekend terrified that the school would notify my parents.  But apparently they bought the idea that I was sick, so nothing more came of it.  I was excused from the assignment because there was no way to make up for missing get a "group" activity.  

I was subjected to this sort of thing throughout middle school----the principal was a radical from guess where?  Columbia University.  The [schools] were used by Columbia grad students as guinea pigs in various sociological research, all under the guise of education.  If any parents got wise to what was going on, I never found out about it.  Mine never did. I never told my parents anything either.  In my home, a child NEVER questioned or complained about adults in authority.  To do so was seen as a serious sin against obedience and was sure to result in punishment.?

She doesn't mention "common core" but perhaps that's what it was and the teachers didn't explain that to the students.

Just putting your mind at rest, Neil. Rule is you remove your shoes and leave them outside. Also I believe girls are excluded from praying like this. I think it's stricly men only.

Still, in spite of this, it's a disaster to get children in the way of praying like Muslims.
