Ethics may be a reasonable study at a High School level. Comparative Religion should be an elective, although the history of how religions affected events should be included.

I had a nice long answer typed out, until I realized it was a rant about the state of the American education system filled with bitterness and hatred towards a country I love. So I deleted it and decided to try again, with a much shorter answer that answers the direct question:
1. Ethics, rhetoric, and etiquette should be mandatory in every school K-12. The children coming out of High School (my own generation included) are composed of 75% scum-sucking, bottom-feeding, puss bags that will only further hinder the advancement of contemporary society.
2. Yes, of course. Religions should be TAUGHT, not preached. Let the students decide what their own personal dogma shall be. There is no excuse for the blatant religious ignorance that is so prevalent in America. Everyone should have general knowledge of Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism (The big five), while remaining religions should be elective courses if someone wishes to learn more.

First of all ethics are not related exclusively to religion and could be taught in a separate class.
Secondly, in a public school system at least, religion has no place.
Finally, a comparative religion class in college as an elective would be a good idea, in fact I took such a class in college and it was interesting.

ethics yes but not at a very young age, maybe 12.
espresso kid say
Not ethics, but psychology or behavioural science. Religions have nothing to offer on that account.
psychology s a university course, and has nothing 2 do with religion. children should learn more about their religion, if they have one,if they don't parents should let them know about religions....:)

No, they should all be required to put forth effort in learning to speak and write correctly.
Some people put forth none. The evidence of that is all around us. Look at the people here who cannot use homophones correctly and who cannot punctuate sentences.
Look at the people who cannot spell ATHEIST or CHRISTIAN.
As for ethics, look at all of the bashing and attacking that goes on here.
Parents need to teach some common courtesy to children.

NO BECAUSE RELIGON AND ETHICS IS AN OXYMORON. HOW MANY WARS DID RELIGION CAUSE? TO STUDY ETHICS, YOU NEED TO ABOLISH RELIGION?
