Separation of Religion and Public School Act

Category: Freedom of Ideas
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Southeast Antarctica

Subject: Public Schools

Reason: The next generation should have the opportunity to learn to think for themselfs rather than let religion, whichever it is, think for them

The Act
Religion courses cannot be a course required to graduate.
Teachers are not allowed to bring up any talk of religion under any circumstance. But is allowed a brief aknowledgement of other opinions if confronted by a student.
School must preach the theory that no one religion is superior than another.

*snip*

We all know what kind of terrible things people can do if they just ignorantly study their religion when you looked at all those terrorist who attacked civilians in North America and Europes without any other reason than "they are against us, they are against alla."

RL reference. Illegal.

The problem is that this only works for countries that already have such provisions. If I was a theocracy, I would mandate that the primary religious beliefs of my country MUST be taught in school, and that other beliefs must not be. This proposal, while working on the surface for some countries, would force massive changes in governmental structure in others.

edited out, happy?

I'm changing my mind. I'll edit it out if there are any more objections.

I think you should remove the But is allowed a brief aknowledgement of other opinions if confronted by a student. It is a step backwards. We must go to the future where religion is non-existent, and ethics do not blind us from true perfection. Pure science.

I'll give the teacher that much liberty.

Liberty. Freedom without securuity. Autocracy. Security without freedom.

Pardon my philosophical side. I jut believe that religion shouldn't be referenced to unless in history.

No need for an objection to be seconded if its correct. Its an illegal clause. RL=/=NSUN

fixed, shouldn't be a problem now. What's the next step?

Trying to come up with a way to do this without mucking up the theocracies in the UN.

I've got ten Cluichstani empty beer cans that say you can't. ;)

Good idea in general, but would muck stuff up, wouldn't it?

Might do better in a larger, "Accuracy of Education Act".
