Prayers and religious teachings have no place in public K-12 schools.
You want kids to learn your religion? Send them to a religious school.

Exactly, we expect and demand the government to stay out of our
churches. It's not the government's responsibility to teach religion.
That's what parents, churches, and religious schools are for.

I don't believe anyone has suggested the teaching of religion (as you
mean it) in public schools. Students *should* be taught of the various
important beliefs that exist in the world, and how these beliefs may
have had their effects on history.

A belief held by several billion people should be taught as such in
public schools.

All decisions, even those of liberals, are the result of binary thinking.


I absolutely agree with this. But, there are people who suggest teaching
religion in schools. Lots and lots of them. This is sad and wrong-headed.
