Hot Bed Question Bible Study In Public Schools

[ThisYouWillDo]

I'm in favour of Religious Studies at all levels in all schools - optional in examination years, of course.

I would expect Christian countries to emphasise Christianity, Moslem countries to emphasise Islam, and so on. Faith schools would of course concentrate on their own particular faith, but I would expect them to teach a basic understanding of the other main religions at least.

Follwers of minority religions in any country would have to take whatever Religious Studies courses were on offer, and make their own arrangements regarding their own particular faith. But they should not be forced into acts of worship by the main faith

Our Country The United States Is Based On Seperation Of Church and State,this is alwaso why the Unuted States had Private Procial Schools, just for this purpose, i do not believe any child in a publicly funded school should be required to study anything religious they do not want to, their parents pay the salaries of those in the schooo, in private procial school the churech does, let public schools refrane and let private or church run schools teach as they will I firmly diagree with you, if some is of a Non Chrisitan Faith, why should they be required to study someting they do not foloow or believe in, this is why we have seration of the 2 to keep Relgion and schools/politic seperate
