Today I saw a video of a protest in Maryland in which a LGBTQ+ activist/sympathizer/ally screamed repeatedly into a megaphone “no religion in school!” And yes, the very same ideas you elaborate on here crossed my mind. What this protester couldn’t see is that--in this specific case--it is clear that it is *not* the Maryland Muslim parents who want their religion taught in public schools. Rather, the protest deals with a different secular religion that has been able to disguise itself in order to infiltrate the public school curriculum. Likewise, this religion has been able to duplicitously proselytize by manipulating people’s good intentions, piggybacking on gay rights and setting up false dichotomies. Who is standing up for our and our children’s freedom from this specific religion?

It is a religion that is extremely successful at insinuating itself into institutions precisely because it pretends not to be a religion.
