They were told what it meant
“The statement presented as an example of the calligraphy was not translated for students, nor were students asked to translate it, recite it or otherwise adopt or pronounce it as a personal belief,” the district stated.
They said it was all about the art — not about the theology.

It is the religious part that is not being addressed.
I guess your fine with it as long as it is an Islamic phrase but I bet you would fall all over everything if it was Christian.

am i missing something here? what is the problem?
i'm more suprised that caligraphy is taught in schools.
why would you be bothered that someone learned to write a popular muslim phrase?
How about they practice writing death to infidels that's another popular muslim phrase?

Question: Are you afraid that copying squiggly lines is going to convert people?

Just another Islam bashing thread. Nothing to see here. Seriously, a non story but the OP is doing his best to sensationalize it.

Why would they do that?
Do you have any basis for your statement or are you simply spouting generic rudeness and misinformed nonsense again my friend?
Don't delude yourself I am not your friend.

I am not worried about it, but the question was asked of the OP if he was worried about conversion through copying squiggly lines that none of them knew the meaning of.
