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

[Ravenshire]

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 wasn't a required class, but it was available at my high school in the U.S. and I took it.  It was never even hinted that there was something atheist about it.  I took it again at the college level from the philosophy department.  No hint it was an anti-religious class there either.   And it isn't.  It's more like math than anything else.

(emphasis is mine)

I think there's an (erroneous) belief in this country (US) that mathematics will teach our kids all the logic and critical thinking that they need to learn.
