You can try to deny it if you wish, but the fact is that religion plays a huge role in our history and our lives.
It's churlish to pretend that it can be swept under the carpet. | But, I don't think that a class that teaches any religion aught to be a required class in a public school.
Nor do I think that kids should be forced or coerced in any way in taking part in any sort of religious observance in a public school.
Make such classes and events entirely elective things and I personally don't have a problem with them taking place in public schools. |
