Religion In Education
Content: Students have a First Amendment right to religious expression in school. With that being said, the U.S. Constitution contains two different types of clauses, known as the religion clauses. They are there to inform the relationship between religion and public schools. As government employees, public school teachers and administrators must follow these two clauses and are required to be neutral about religion while educating their students. Students have the right to believe in what they’d like to believe, and say what they want to say. Students are allowed to express how they feel, and they do indeed have the right to religious expression. Students who are taught about religion seem to have a better grasp on reality. Allowing them to have a better concept about what is going on in the world around us dealing with different religions, cultures, and values. Along with being more open minded about other peoples beliefs, instead of just focusing on their own and acknowledging others. Religious education is easily ignored when it comes to teaching it in schools.
