Knox County schoolchildren disappointed by a mosque

Knox Trivia has the scoop:

My 10-year old son is a brainiac. He is an honor student and advanced reader. He always does really well in the annual spelling bee. This year, thanks to an Islamic place of worship, he was out in the third round. He was so upset. He had practiced and practiced those words for weeks. He even remembered to say capital M when asked to spell Monday during the warm up round. The ONLY word that he had trouble remembering was mosque. Of course, that was the very word that he had to spell.

“Mosque: m-o-s——k, mosque.” I couldn’t believe it. Why couldn’t they have asked him to spell “church” or “Baptist”? Those he knows about, but mosque???
