School and Religion

Teaching religion in school is unavoidable. We either teach it or, by ignoring it, teach that it is irrelevant. For instance, teaching evolution as the origin of life, not just the origin of species, has religious implications. Either God started the evolutionary process or it didn't need him or there was some degree of special creation and evolution isn't the whole story. But ignoring the question of God implies that he is an unnecessary hypothesis. You can't get around religious teaching.
