The school chose to close with no actual threat. Its says that clearly in the article. Its also the last day of school before Christmas break so...

The teacher more than likely grabbed Arabic text off the internet probably without considering its meaning. Some drama queen mommy did what she does best, create drama. She went to her church and stood in front of a handful of people in her congregation and latched onto some ridiculous drama grasping at straws. There is no story here. Americans are not categorically stupid or ignorant because a news outlet finds 1 mad mommy and 1 student to go on camera.

You obviously only read part of the article.

Cheryl LaPorte had not designed the assignment herself, but took it from a standard workbook on world religions, local newspaper The News Leader reported.

"The school division began receiving voluminous phone calls and electronic mail locally and from outside the area," the school system said. And the "tone and content" were nasty.

Then all the schools in the county shut down.

One news outlet? I'm guessing it's every news outlet in the English speaking world and beyond by now. It's on the front of the web page of our local paper here in Winnipeg!

But I will agree that Americans are not categorically stupid or ignorant. Intolerance of others is widespread the world over, and Americans do have a reason to be extra intolerant at this time. And Canadians as well for that matter. It's up to all of us individually to fight against the hysteria and not let it get out of control.

Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

To teach calligraphy, they could have chosen some innocent Japanese poetry in Kanji.

And celebrate the people who bombed Pearl Harbor and killed 2400 American soldiers? You think an Islamic verse will get people butthurt . . . .

Good morning students - today we'll be demonstrating how EVEN the American literary form is inferior to the rest of the civilized world - and what better way to illustrate this than through anti-american propaganda in Kanji...

"Farewell American Soldiers!"

About as butthurt as Exodus 20 and baby Jesus figurines in public - what sheer audacity!

I didn't know those things were butthurt! Around here nativity scenes are pretty common, and no one much cares.

I didn't know those things were butthurt! Around here nativity scenes are pretty common, and no one much cares.

And around here you can hear calls to prayer several times a day. Many of the women are in burqas. Arabic sinage is pretty common, and no one much cares - so it looks like we need to get out more, because the media is reporting a world of butthurt that we've apparently been sheltered from.

Or there are people who are simply not butthurt by any of the above.
