Campus Watch director Winfield Myers is quoted in the Los Angeles Times in a story on the problems with the way Islam is taught in America’s public schools:
“Not infrequently, lessons about Islam tend toward apologetics,” said Winfield Myers, director of Campus Watch. “What we find in schools ... is a portrayal of Islam in a very positive light and a portrayal of Christianity and Judaism in a very negative light.” Myers said he wants a “balanced view that recognizes the good and bad” of Islam and Western civilization.
As for the controversial lesson in Virginia, Myers said, “We have utterly no objection to practicing Arabic calligraphy.” But he added, “If you were learning Greek, it would be unlikely a public school teacher would have you learn in Greek by writing ‘Jesus Christ is our lord and savior.’”
