Is 'sin' an acceptable HS assignment subject? Opinions requested.

More importantly, is there any pressure being put on your son in terms of the viewpoint he should espouse regarding whatever sin he opts to discuss? Because if not, there's nothing stopping him from going entirely negative, pointing out how ridiculous religious sin is, and really ripping into the concept.

I agree that this would be an interesting twist on the assignment and may result in a good grade if the teacher awards points for honesty and thinking outside the box. However, what is he to do about the second assignment? I doubt that a plea to the city council to recognize the absurdity of this or that sin, or sin in general, will pass muster.

My thoughts as well. My first idea was to go about the assignment as Esquilax suggested, but the 2nd one is a little harder. Maybe go for something like gay marriage and how the only real argument against it is biblical and therefore absurd (what is the current political state of gay marriage in your city?)?

In any case, I don't think you should storm the school, yet. Pick your battles, this isn't exactly forcing religion down people's throat. It can be treated as looking at religion's effect on society.
