The Cons of Religion in Schools
Separation of Church and State
Opponents of religion in schools often bring up the issue of church and state. These separation laws are in effect in the country in order to further exemplify the first amendment. Putting a focus on religion in schools is a direct violation of these laws. Excludes Students
Students who are not religious, or practice a religion that is different than the majority of the school, would be excluded from many activities during the day. This exclusion would likely make the student the target of bullying and further prejudices. Schools Is For Everybody
Public schools are funded by the tax payers of the community. If a child’s parents are not religious or do not agree with the religion of the majority, then they may be highly opposed to paying taxes that fund these religious activities and programs. Contradicting Education
Certain topics that are taught in school may cause conflicts within the religious teachings of some religions. Subjects like science and history have contradictory lessons which may invoke confusion in the students.
