  • true. the question is, should religious schools be allowed? they do encourage social division, perhaps religion should be left for adults to consider themseleves when they are ready

  • good points. and ironically many religious schools offer a better secular education than public schools in the same neighborhood. i've even heard of parents sending their child to a religious school even when they're not believers of that faith.

  • I realize a lot of parents send there children to religious schools for the purposes of a "quality" education, despite having a lack of faith in that particular religion, but I am a little tired of the complaining. People want religion taken out of public schools, because they don't believe that it should be imposed upon them; however, every year there is a small fraction of religious private school attendees that fight against the principles of those schools.

    Do not pay for the school, of which has mission statements and school guidelines stating what the school is for and about, if you don't believe in that mission or those guidelines. These schools are not just for "quality" education, they are there as teachers/servants for their respective faiths. People have to come to terms with that.

    There are secular private schools that offer the same"quality" education without the bells and whistles of a religious oriented private school. The only people that should have a say in the fight for secular education are those attending public institutions or those that feel the private institution they attend has not fulfilled the promises of its mission statement and guidelines (whether it be religious or not).

    Sidebar:
    All of us need to accept each other. There are people who choose to follow a religion or a spiritual following, just as there are people who choose not to follow any. Every single faith involves some sense of fellowship with other people of that same faith, whether it be Islamic, Wicca, Christianity, Catholicism, Scientology, and etc. It is their right to believe in what they want and to have schools, property, and communities. No one should restrict them on the basic fact that they do not believe.

  • I agree with your post about Prayer in school. The core democratic value Liberty states that people have the right to gather in groups and have their own beliefs. If prayer was mandatory in school then it wouldn’t be allowing people the have their own beliefs it would be forcing that religion on them.
