#1 When one of my daughters was in Middle School, they used a program from the California curriculum that emphasized this hands-on type of learning. The teachers had discretion on what to use and did not teach Islam but the Holocaust. My daughter had a number "tattooed" on her arm. We had to sign permission for them to participate with the goal of understanding other cultures. They also studied China, the Middle Ages and their papal/feudalism class structure, and Native American culture with survivalist scenarios if forced to fend for themselves in the elements. They went camping and canoeing during an early snow storm. She is now in teacher's college to be a Middle School teacher. Did they teach Islam exclusively or did they include other religions?

#2 I might add that they came away with a great appreciation for the US and our liberties provided by the Constitution, including separation of church and state. The realistic Medieval banquet highlighted how most of the people were only fed if they were in good with the nobles. They also understood how cruel people with the power of life and death over you can be and the ugliness of bigotry because they were forced to put themselves in another's place.
