I think it's great. Teach the kids about Islam. Then let them decide about it for themselves.

This. People triggered by even the thought of the word religion should eat their fedoras.

Religions shouldn't be taught in public schools.

It should, on a basic level.

Humanity stopped being nomadic and moved forward because of religion.

Knowledge is power. The more you know about people, the less hostile you will be towards each other. If you know nothing about Russia or the middle east, for example, it will be easier for you to believe propaganda about everyone of them being monsters and you will never see them as people

After seeing this article, I feel very disappointed to see:

1) People protesting a religion specifically (even though it isn't given special treatment in the curriculum)

2) seeing Americans think this is a christian country( it is NOT)

 

I was taught about Islam, Judaism, Christianity (several sects actually), Buddhism, Shintuism, and some ancient religions. We never had people going around screaming and trying to sue my old high school. 

From  the linked article: "middle school's inclusion of Islam in a World Culture & Geography course"

So, the school doesn't teach Islamism, it teaches about Islamism (and other world religions). That's fine by me. Religious indoctrination at school or otherwise I disagree with. In my opinion religious freedom for the child means it can choose it's religion after it get's 18. Before that no child is a christian, moslem ior whatever, that is religious indoctrination by the parents. So childs should not attend religious services, shouldn't have religion school and stuff like that. But learning about which religions exists in which part of the world is like learning which foods they eat or which sports they do. Nothing wrong with that.

It doesn't make any sense teaching religion on schools, and that's coming from a Catholic. I was never taught religion on any school, apart from Saturdays at church.

By teaching religion in school do you mean like religious education like we have here in the UK where we learn about different religions for people to have better understanding of each other?



They should teach about it by just reading the old testament and Quran. Everyone will be atheists within a decade.

Wanna make claims like that? Then expect people to ask for indisputable evidence. This is me asking for that evidence by the way...

Really, you have to ask that? What brought people together thousands of years ago? Religion. Without it you'd probably still be hunting animals.



Religion must be private specially the biggest virus the Islamic is must be banned

I believe students should be taught all about the different religions, their history, their contributions, their immoral acts, all of it. - It's what makes up a significant part of the world around us.

But there is a line. Once students are forced to pray every morning then a line has been crossed, it's gone from teaching to preaching and that's not okay, schools should be teaching on a fact-based basis, teach the kids about religion from a historical context backed by evidence and not some crazy mystical faith-based aspect.
