Who thinks Jesus should be taught in schools?

Answer 1

Well, I do-but this would offend many, many people. I think all religion should be taught in schools. Islam, christian, etc. Have different classes set up for each religion. America would probably be a better place.

Answer 2

Jesus exclusively? No. Jesus in the context of studying religions around the world? Yes.

And I'm NOT advocating a "Muslims Good, Athiests Good, Christians Bad" session either. Schools (not colleges) should present unbiased information for students, leaving their NEA-inspired brainwashed drivel at the door. College students are assumed to be able to sort through stupid opinions on their own.

Answer 3

James Baker, George Bush, James Dobson, and nearly every other Christian. I'm not Christian and my son will go to public school. Therefore, I would appreciate it if the government would keep Jesus out of my son's curriculum. Unless, of course, it would be to teach about the historical facts and derivation of Christianity. Not the religious teachings themself. Further, if he or I want him to learn more about the religion itself, we will visit a church to do so. I also don't want to order dinner in a restaraunt and be preeched to. I don't want to buy my groceries and be handed a Bible or the Koran or the Torah. The difference with private places doing this sort of thing however, is I can choose to go elsewhere. I cannot do this in a public school. That is what private school is for. Further, my tax dollars help fund the school. If I want religion, I will seek it where it belongs...in one's home or church or even in their privacy of their own business or social gatherings. However, not in public, government funded agencies or organizations. Why is this so hard to comprehend? Respect my beliefs and I will respect yours. Christians, while my god is likely the same as your God and everyone elses, I do not worship him the same. Yes, our forefathers founded this great country using the principles of Christianity as a guide but that is because nearly all religions share the same basic principles which are great guidelines for how to live. The greatest feature of the US is that it is bound by a written, living piece of paper, The Constitution. This paper supercedes all individuals and is meant to rule the land above all. Please follow one of the basic guidelines...seperation of church and state. It's in there for a reason.

Answer 4

In a public school, I think they should OFFER a world religion class and have different people or leaders of each religion teach it as they believe. But, I pay alot of money to send my kids to a private christian school so they can hear the word of God everyday! It just depends on how important that is to the child and the parent.

Answer 5

Jesus Christ is still taught in Christian schools around the world.

Answer 6

If you are talking about World Studies and famous people in history, then Jesus should be mentioned just like any other historical leader. His existence is important in the course of world history.
If you are learning about how differing religious views cause a people to respond a certain way to world events, then it may be necessary to mention his teaching like you would Buddha or anyone else.
