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. | ================================================== =======
Terrified? You assume way too much. I just see no reason to yield on this so that those people who want to get their religion taught to other people's kids can feel better about themselves.
Right now there is an education crisis in this country. Why take away from needed classroom time so that religion can be taught? Religion should be taught at home.
An elective class at the high school level is OK by me. |
