Religious symbols in classrooms
#3
RE: Religious symbols in classrooms
As a secularist and an advocate or pluralism, I'd have to say either no symbol, or all of them (or no ability to object should someone want any religious symbol placed in school, including i guess the usual atheist 'A' or even the IPU or FSM.

At least in state schools, or schools that utilise public funding. Fat chance of that in the UK though where the state is happy to fund religious schools of any persuasion so long as they utilise the national curriculum. But even that's being eroded as so called free schools and academies can be set up by anyone, with state funding, to teach almost whatever they want (so long as they teach the curriculum as a minimum).
Love atheistforums.org? Consider becoming a patreon and helping towards our server costs.
