Reply #71: Religion doesn't scare me. [View All]

[Maat]

I believe in God, just not the Conservative Christian's idea of God.

And I do not want my child being taught that the Bible is a Holy Book.

It is not OUR sacred text.

A comparative religion class is acceptable; singling out one book as the basis for an entire class is inappropriate, in my humble opinion.

Didn't vote for Booosh, did you?

If PFAW took a look at the curriculum and found it unconstitutional, then that is what it is.

Because I am a recent law graduate, I take a look at the age of the typical student that will take the course. I have no problem with college-age kids taking that type of course (in general), and neither does the Supreme Court. Most high school kids are also mature enough to digest comparative religion (at least).

But elementary school students ... things get very tricky there. And the judiciary in this country knows that.
