Religion in Public School By Cam Griffin
Influence Religion all around us Society revolves around religion: Sundays in America School System Terror Attacks Politics Peace efforts Wars TV Churches and other places of worship History
SO why Don’t Pub. Schools teach about Religion? Claim that religious beliefs are a “sensitive subject” Students deprived of vital info Need to understand the world Bruce Lincoln and 9/11? Why?
Solution Incorporate religion, but for knowledge only Develop a couple courses that public school students have to take Program will have the needed knowledge and the basics of each religion Students will be able to better understand society There will be no bias because it will not be taught by teachers, but by a software A couple videos about each religion Work with religious leaders to help make the videos
Some Topics Founder of the religion Location of followers Name of God(s) Holy book Leadership Most importantly: the basic beliefs Provide a solid foundation of knowledge for the different faiths
