Religious Symbolism in Israeli Education

How, how could this happen?

Well, because for some Israelis, a significant number of

Israelis, Christian iconography is considered deeply offensive, in fact,

the most

offensive. So offensive that in some Israeli religious schools,

the

plus sign is not used in math.

The plus sign, you know, that connotes addition.

Why? Because it looks like a cross,

and that's considered too offensive for the eyes of schoolchildren, and

so an inverted T is used. That's a fact. You can look it up.

There's only one other instance we've seen of this in the world,

and that's in ISIS-run madrassas, where the cross was also

considered offensive. This is not true

in any normal Muslim country.

They use plus signs,

but not in Israeli religious schools.

So

everybody is allowed to have their own religious views and to find other people's

symbols repugnant, but it might be useful for

Christians in the United States to know what they are funding and making excuses

for.

But of course, they don't know this because this

information somehow

hasn't reached them, and if they're watching CBN, they're told,

"Don't pay

attention. You must be liberal."
