it needs to be A) or B):::
A) all religions are taught equally to INFORM students (not to perform an actual religious class or religous acts or whatever, school is not for that)
OR
B) no religion is taught in schools except for in historical context.
I understand those that may feel like Christianity is America's religion (loosely), as the Constitution and a lot of the articles written by the Founding Fathers literally were built around the religion. That said they were also around FREEDOM of religion and its not healthy to only teach certain religions in school.
In the end though 'teaching religion' should be a pretty loose thing. I would expect citizens to teach their own children in their own time about all of the religions (on some level), I wouldn't expect the school system to do that.
The school system should probably explain the basic fundamentals of the religions and how they tie into history and the forming of cultures. There shouldn't be some endless discussion explaining to 10 year old the rules and logic of Islam or some sort of biased "your parents are Christian because...!" sort of thing.
So the real discussion is whether to lightly teach all the religions or to teach none of them in school. Either is fine in my eyes. Obviously for a historical class it will be near impossible to avoid some religious discussion in terms of the context of cultures and war (Crusades, Catholic Church, Islamic wars, etc. etc. etc.), but the reality is that anyone learning about that sort of thing in an advanced class will no longer be that young (i.e. middle school or high school)
It just needs to be cut an dry that religion is not heavily because taught to students by teachers because in the end any teacher is bound to have some level of bias if they themselves are religious.
In the end if a parent wants their child to have strong religious teachings at school they need to send them to a specialized private school.
