Iâ??m going to half to disagree with you there papawâ?¦

If Iâ??m not mistaken school is about learning how the world works. Iâ??m going to guess that about ¾ of the people of this planet believe in some type of divine creator. Iâ??m not saying Darwin was wrong about everything, just that maybe heâ??s not exactly right either. Teachers would not be teaching religion (as in how to practice) they would be acknowledging popular thought. Some people believe yada yada monkies some people belive yada yada God and the rest believe a smattering of both.

Iâ??m really tired of schools these days. To pretend religion does not exist only perpetuates ignorance. I once watched a biology teachers face practically melt off because she just thought I was gonna say something about God. So now we have a room full of kids with questions in their minds that they canâ??t ask because of the God police. So instead we pretend that nothing happening. God in school has become that little secret that everyone knows about but dances around.

I think students should become familiar with what people in the world actually think.
