Those on the crazy right will say that only their religion can be taught in the public schools. Those on the crazy left will say that no religion is too much.

There are plenty of checks and balances available to prevent religions from censoring shameful but undeniable truths on the one hand, and to prevent religions from ganging up to vilify minority religions on the other hand.

I don't see how teaching religion can be mandatory in universities. By then people specialize and many would be unlikely to sign on for a course which included a compulsory element in religion....

With religion at the heart of much that is good and evil in our world, it is critical that students learn about the various and many faiths that motivate people.
