    Well, I'll just take you on your word. Our schools could certainly be organized better and perhaps we ought to look outside of our borders an emulate what other more successful countries are doing, whether ME countries are that example... I'm not sure.

    Sarcasm detected! It's flawed just as any religious law is.

    Religion is allowable in schools. You want your kids learning that religion...fine send them to the schools that teach it. Keep all religion out of public schools. Leave learning religion up to the family not the school teachers.

    People who wan their children taught religion are TAXPAYERS also,and should be allowed to spend THEIR TAX MONEY, for THEIR CHILDRENS' EDUCATION(s), AS THEY SEE FIT, INCLUDING PAROCHILA SCHOOLS, if that is what they WANT.

    No thanks, I'd prefer not to grow up in a society that thinks the earth is 6000 years old and that all the animals were rescued by Noah.

    we agree no religion in schools, kids have enough to learn and should be consentrating on school subjects , I also do not think teachers politics should be expressed in classes until high school

    I actually want religion in schools. Taught as a course that examines each religion and their historical context.

    Might go a long way in stamping out a lot of the ignorance and bigotry towards people of other faiths.

    It just another aspect of world history, you can't possibly learn about one without incorporating the other. It's a course probably best suited for high schoolers.

    Every religion does not teach that; please cite verifiable PROOF of the age of the Earth.

    (Hint: research "carbon dating problems" first.)

    Then send your kids to the school you prefer,and stop trying to dictate to others what their children should learn.

    BTW-parochial schools BLOW AWAY public schools, in standardized testing,SATS,and ACTs....

    Honestly who really cares? Religion should not be in public schools period. The taxpayers don't and SHOULD NOT have any say whatsoever.

    All are distortions of literalist Islamic practices. Most manifest from the radical ideals of certain Salafis and adherents to the ideology of Sayyid Qutb.

    In the United States, estimates are that the majority of Muslims are modernists or Sufi (mystics). Literalists constitute around 30 to 40 percent of all American Muslims, with a smaller percentage being Salafi, and even less espousing the radical views of the Wahhabis found in Saudi Arabia, or the adherents to Qutb and the Muslim Brotherhood found in Egypt, and among terrorist organizations, namely the Taliban.

    Sounds a lot like the baptist church I grew up in that told me everyone who wasn't a baptist was going to hell.

    Sorry 'boutcha'. Never heard anything like that in any Catholic or non-denominational Christian, or Jewish church/synagogue I've been to.

    Regardless, if American taxpayers want their childen to attend parochial schools, it is THEIR MONEY,and THEIR CHILDREN.
