This is a quote from someone very famous, I'll tell you who it's by after I get 13 answers, but I want to know, who agrees with it? I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with it, b/c I don't want to cause a fight, I just want to know if you agree with it and why, after 13 answers I'll put up who said it!
"Secular schools can never be torlerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith... we need believing people."

Secular schools and secular society are essential. Religion breeds segregation, and segregation breeds conflict.

I agree that secular schools cannot teach morals, and that we need believing people, but the implication is wrong, Character training has never been a faith issue.

I do not agree with that statement what so ever. Religous instruction in school? Today which religeon would they instruct. The class room is made up of a diverse field of religeons. To do this all religeons would have to have their own schools..That is just not going to happen. Moral instruction starts in the home. Followed up by religeon. If it is not at home it is not going any where in school.

That's the worst idea I've ever heard. First of all, which religion are we going to teach these kids, hmmm? And why confuse children? There is a fantasy world (religion) and there is the real world (good education). Let the kids learn their fairy tales in church and let the schools keep them from going completely insane.

That would be Mr. Hitler. As a Christian I do not agree with his statement. There is no need to have religion in public schools. There are plenty of outside avenues for that type of instruction.

I disagree. But I understand that there will never be a thing such as unbiased learning.

I disagree and I know who said it. I had to do a research paper on him in high school. (I'll let you reveal when you're ready)

Absolutely not! It helps, but schools are one thing, churches are another
