Religion

What are my beliefs when it comes down to religion in school? Or is the question should it be taught well I disagree with religion being taught in school. My family and me am Baptist and we have certain beliefs we believe there is an god but some people believe different and that’s why I think that it shouldn’t be taught in school because it too much confusion and too much things the schools have to go too. In this essay you will read about why I disagree with religion being taught in school.
Teaching religion in school starts trouble between the parents and the school boards. Many parents feel if they don’t believe in that then they children should not be forced to be taught something which they don’t believe in. In 1844 during the bible riots the catholic came over to this country for an better life and for they children some of they kids went to catholic school but they were mainly for boys so the others had to go to public schools Teachers read the Protestant Bible and said Protestant prayers. The Catholic students were forced to listen to prayers and a Bible they did not believe in. They and their parents were angry. They tried to do something about this, but the Protestants refused. “The Protestants quoted the reading of the bible was here before they arrive and it will still be here when they leave”. So then they fought it was the Protestants against the catholic they fought and fought. That’s why I feel as if religion should not be taught in school it starts up too much trouble and it can lead to people being killed and it way more stuff in the world we should be thinking about like killing over guns instead of religion in school.
Public schools are schools with no tuition, which are provided by local governments with control coming by three levels federal, state, and local. Public schools are free schools of religion that’s why there are many different choices of school to go to it catholic, Islamic, and much more so if you want your kid to learn religion send them to a school of they belief. Many parents feel as if they send they kids to public schools then it’s a more free environment and not so up tight and strict and definitely not the teaching of the bible .I f public schools suppose to be free and equal then leave the teaching about religion out of the schools. So my point here is if you send your child to public school they school is teaching religion then it’s wrong religion is not suppose to be taught in public schools. Many of the kids parents are ministers or pastors so who would want they kids learning something that they don’t believe in I really think it’s wrong and I think it takes away all and debt all of the public schools rules.
Now that you read this essay what do you think should religion be taught in school or should they should just leave the schools be. It’s up to you about what you think and if you ask me I would say, No because it starts up too much trouble and it goes against all the public school system rules.
