Secularism in School
March 18, 2014 at 4:01 pm
Do you support it? Why or why not?

I, of course, support it and find any lapse in enforcement of secularism in public school to be abhorrent. That being said I would really like to know your opinions (yes, even you, theists Wink) and why you hold them.

My reasoning:
Firstly, as an atheist, I don't pay my taxes so that teachers or administrators can push their dogma onto my child and get paid for it to boot. Secondly, I don't believe that religion, outside of historical or artistic reference, or an objective optional class on world religion, has relevance to education.
