CPR, Ethics & Morality, Financial Education and Psychology should all be included imo, if they aren't already. I'd also like to see some extended History and Religion classes, as both can be powerful tools to get a better understanding of the world.

No, just no. No one should be forced to take part in that.

I just think it would be a good thing to understand the backstory of religion and to discuss how/why religion was created and how it's connected to some historical events. It's not like you have to become religious or anything.

Still can't do something like that, especially in a Christian-centric society like ours :P

Why not? It would be a good thing to teach kids about different religions and their commonalities. Teaching world history without religion isn't possible. You have to be careful about getting teachers without their own agenda ofcourse. Which is needed anyway, my history teacher was always pushing his own political ideas and party on us.

I went to a catholic school and had an awesome religion teacher in the later years. He was more interested in teaching us about morals and the influence of religion in current society then pushing the bible on us. Despite going to a catholic school I'm not religious myself, but he did teach me to think for myself.
