of course there is, but religion has played a major role in our history. You can't just ignore it in history class. And you can't just name the religion without at least explaining what its about.

@mld-woody said:

You kind of do though. You need to teach what each religion believes to understand what is going on. It means nothing to say "religion A doesnt like religion B" if you dont know why they dont like each other.

No kid has ever been converted in a boring ass history class talking about religion that day. If that happened, we'd have some people still believing in Thor or Zeus.

There's a lot more to history than which religious group hates which and why

uuuhhh.... ya? Unless you're acting like this online forum is a perfect representation of someones ability to speak, lol. In which case you, along with some others, should be worried.

Idk what the issue is here. Took that shit all through school. Was like 5th in my high school class. Blah blah blah (I know you guys hate it when I say all that)

No you don't have to teach religion. You can touch on it but you don't need to teach it to teach history

Honors english, ROFLMFAO!

@gftchris said:

I agree. My last few years of honors english seemed pretty pointless though. Learning about fictional characters, plots, symbolism, etc got old

@mld-woody said:

Because you don't pigeon-hole a 12 y/o as soon as they show some kind of aptitude for anything.

@walterwhite said:

What are you even yelling about now? What does this have to do with the OP?

Look, I don't completely disagree... but you are just ranting to rant now. You aren't going to remove history or english from a school curriculum just because they dont like it...

@the-cysko-kid said:

Religion is a pretty major factor in history. It may have shaped the world today more than anything else. It probably has in fact.

@walterwhite said:

You aren't hate filled because you disagree with me. You are hate filled because you are hate filled. End of story.

You think this is a debate? HAHAHAHA. Your first post in response to me was full of insults. I'll respond in the manner I was responded to.

PLAY TO A KIDS FUCKING STRENGTHS instead of conforming them to be "well rounded" to what academia deems appropriate.

@gftchris said:

THAT IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM WITH EDUCATION.

stop trying to make kids "well rounded"

Maybe some kids aren't good at certain subjects. Maybe some kids suck balls at writing and are great at biology.

Maybe some kids want to dance, do art, or cook but instead their GPA suffers because they aren't good at "English"

You are stripping them over their individuality and talents and conforming them to be 'well rounded"

Find your fucking NICHE' and you stick with it.

Well rounded is for fucking cunts

@walterwhite said:

I don't disagree, but there need to be other things to make a rounded individual.

This country is full of fat dumb mother fuckers who are dead broke and it's a result of the shitty public education system.

@walterwhite said:

I meant from life in general.

IMO, kids should learn about the major religions, and that's all that was happening here. They weren't saying "there is no god but allah, we must all praise allah, allah is almighty," they were in fact saying "looking at islam, we can see that they believe this:" I'd fully expect them to have the same breakdown for Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism & Judaism, as is the case in pretty much every school in a developed country around the world.

@gftchris said:

Religion needs removed from Pubic School Period.

However, Liberals don't want to remove Islam from school, that might be considered Islamaphobic.

@mld-woody said:

You sound like a classic tolerant open minded Liberal by telling me to "shove it up my ass"

Anyone who disagrees is a "hate filled, racist, bigot'.

You debate like a total fucking faggot
