What is your Opinion on Having Required Classes in Logic in Schools?

[AFTT47]

It would be very beneficial, no doubt. I think there would be a lot of resistance to it in the U.S. because the religious right would paint it as state-sponsored teaching of atheism.

It absolutely should not be taught as preaching atheism.  It should be taught as critical thinking, just as it is commonly done in colleges today.  It is about method, not about results.

Of course it shouldn't be taught as preaching atheism but it would be criticized as doing that anyway. Teaching of evolution is opposed because it obviously contradicts Genesis. Critical thinking would be opposed because it contradicts faith.

I'm not saying I would be opposed to trying to get it into the schools here but it should be recognized that it would be a battle.
