Re: Religion in Education
No faith should be forced upon someone. There isn't a clear line between religious references in class and down right preaching. My english teachers would make references to the bible all the time, in context, of course. None of that bothers me.

Now, what does bother me is if your history teacher, in teaching religions is obvious biased(to say the least) towards one religion. Like saying that anything other than Christianity is heathanism. Given that school trains us all to think a certain way, I'd rather that way be the open minded way.

Thankfully, I've never had or known of a teacher who did, because my town is a very open town, very accepting of everyone's differences.
