I was taught about Islam in social studies, and I don't remember anybody trying to force me to obey Islamic law at any point.
I don't know whether there is a slippery slope, but I do know this isn't an accurate description of it.
Person: here is generally how this thing has gone throughout history
You: my individual experience doesn't match this, therefore you are completely wrong
Come on, dude, read a book.
He never said that they were "completely wrong". Just casting doubt/sharing thoughts. Regardless, freedom of/from religion has only gotten better in the west for the last few hundred years. Please don't let a few crazies in the US determine your perspective on an entire religion.
Throughout history, most people didn't go to school at all, let alone get taught about other religions (other than “if anyone claims to believe this, kill them”).
There are some states passing laws mandating "in god we trust" be placed somewhere prominent in the school. There's an argument to be made that by doing this, the states are mandating that education systems must promote the the idea of the Bible and it's claims being true.
That goes a tad beyond merely teaching kids about religions.
