Had not heard of this until now.
Good on them for making a course like this and making it mandatory.

What a silly argument. In social studies you learn about other cultures all the time. In jr high there was a decent portion of one of the years spent on Japan for example. Learning about Japan and Japanese culture/history did not turn me Japanese any more than learning about Islam will turn these precious snowflakes into Muslims.
