So they learn just the one persepective? That is ridiculously short-sighted. I quote myself from here
Quote:
I think not teaching religion in the schools is the most ridiculous idea. Religion is such a huge part of so many people's lives it's no wonder there's so much disquiet when so many people know so little about people of different religions -their neighbors, their doctors, their police officers.... American schools need a decent non-denominational comparative religion program. And it shouldn't be optional. If your religion isn't strong enough that you can hear about others without wavering from your path/becoming impure/whatever, then you have no moral right to make demands on behalf of that religion. It's perfectly possible to teach about what some people belive without teaching that it is right or wrong.
