US states mull laws allowing religion in science class

We are living in a time of extreme PC. The demands that religion not be mentioned even at sporting events is rampant and continuous. If that is the game that is going to be played, then NO religious teaching in any public classroom. Period. Separation of Church and State must be followed to the letter of the law.

Um, religion can be mentioned in a lot of situations. You don't get to push it into a science classroom, or force it on students in other ways. I'm sorry that triggers you, bro.

This surprised me -that Grade 6 students were getting comparative religion studies. I think it's a good idea that they are learning about the beliefs of some of their classmates, but wonder if discussions might be too simplified for students of that age bracket to gain much comprehension of those other faiths.

Have you had any parental complaints or praise in regards to the classes?

I've never known parents to complain about teaching comparative religions, no.

Yes, the discussion of that and any other subject has to be simplified for 11 year old kids. That's why this subject, like others, should be re addressed when kids are older.
