why? I agree somewhat, teaching to convert is wrong. The schools teach Darwin's theory of evelution. So why not also teach some of Genises from the Bible (creationism)? I personally think Darwinism and the Bible teach some of the same, and that the Bible is mostly a Jewish history. I do agree with the sect of Jewdeaism that believes that one must argue the ideas. Look at what we are doing here.RoyGBiv wrote:
Honestly, IMO, folks who feel compelled to bring religion into public education are just wrong. If they can't manage to satisfy their religious needs in the other 17 hours of the day, then the best solution is to go to a religious-affiliated school. We live in a country where the freedom to practice religion is counterbalanced by the temperance required to accommodate more than one religious view. For me, it really is that simple.
I think I'm about done on this topic, but, thanks for the discussion.
You yourself have expressed an opinion about reporters that are biased about reporting the "news.". Why be biased about what is taught in the school, as long as it is balanced both pro and con. This is a major issue with college teaching, they want you to think inside the box, think along the norm, think the way we direct you to think.
Prayer in school? "Iwant everyone to stand and join me in prayer" would be wrong, they are being directed. "Those of you that would like to join with me in a moment of prayer" would be ok because it gives a choice.
Enough of my rant.
