Schools are secular. What we were taught in social studies was maps, world geography, and natives, Canadian content, and alot about World Wars.
Relgious mythology mumbo jumbo that is not even proven to exist is not appropriate in a secular constitutionally protected Modern and should SPACE AGE
education.
And I am very angry.

Dude, those are facts, not beliefs.
Be glad your child is learning something. No hockey got you down?

From my point of view they are only teaching facts about the history of some religion. I don`t see a big problem there, it`s part o history too.

How do you not know if Mohammed existed? Also, they are not teaching any messages there, only dates and origins of the religion.

No its not. College religious studies, maybe. But no bible, torah, or any muslim religion material is suitable in any school system. Its not history, not even close. Its the easter bunny, but a mean psycho one, that has destroyed this world in slavery and abused so many women and children throughout history that it needs to be exposed and removed. Its not suitable in a secular education to even mention this.
AND THIS IS BEING DEALT WITH.

The closest social studies came to religion when I was a kid was political ideologies. However in the world today where muslim nations are not just thought of as sanddunes and camels, these might be necessary things to teach so that they will be ready for the world of tomorrow.
As many of these formerly 3rd world nations will be world powers in the near future, it may just be prudent to teach them these things. As social studies is the study of societies, and their interactions, and many societies don't have a line between religion and government, I honestly see the need to teach this. Provvided it is in a nonbiased, and socially neutral manner.
However, don't let me sway you, do what you feel is right for your child. I don't know the situation or the other circumstances involved.

I hope you're not teaching them THAT crap.
Hopefully they realize you're nuts and just dismiss your nonsense.

Then I think that they should not teach how Christianism changed the Roman Empire and the middle ages too?
Your complain do not make sense. Tthey are only teaching history, not telling that god created the world or something like that.

Unity_99 part of the 8th grade curriculum for Canadian secondary schools is a unit on World Religions. They usually cover all the major religions as a way of teaching the students tolerance of their fellow students who may have belief systems different than theirs. I can't speak for your son's teacher but I know my 8th grade teacher made it very clear she was not using the class to preach (in fact she staunchly refused to tell any of us what, if any, religion she followed) or to convert or to make anyone question.
If your son has notes or handouts from the class, I encourage you to give them a read, and see if they are biased or at all an attempt to convert your child.
