Should religion be taught in School? Which religion? And who decides? Do we institute a state religion in the U.S.? Somehow I thought this country was founded by dissidents looking for religious freedom. Whatever happened to that idea?
If we don’t have a state religion, then we’d have to teach all religions. And I just want to say to everyone pushing this idea that I am completely ready to step up and help design the Mandatory Wiccan Religion Session for primary, intermediate and secondary grades.
Invoking the elements, dancing wildly ‘round the bonfire, how to correctly worship the Goddess and our Pagan Gods—that is what you had in mind, right? Between the section on Fundamentalist Christianity and the Tantra Yoga unit.
Maybe it would be better to keep religion in church, synagogue, temple or sacred grove, and in loving teachings and celebrations at home, and let our schools stay secular.
After all, there’s probably no better way to get kids to hate religion and everything about it than to make it a mandatory subject in school
