Should religion be able to be expressed in school?
Well in my opinion I think that religion should be expressed among the student as a free will, what I mean by that is that it should not be pressed on the students to practice the religion. Students should have the freedom to express their beliefs as says the 1st amendment where it clearly states that we have the freedom to believe in what would want to believe in.
No teachers should press religion on a pupil because everybody has their own beliefs and own mind to choose. School is simply for learning math, science, and reading, social studies not religion. If religion happens to come into a lesson plan and its not being pressed to exalt the practice I think that it’s ok because you are simply learning not practicing the religion. There are many religious beliefs in the world and everybody believe one of them of none of them, they are not obligated to practice the religion. It should be the same way in school because students are people too and have theirs rights and freedoms under the constitution.
How far can you go with your religion? Well you may express you religious rights but in my opinion I believe that it is not right to blackmail some one else because that is not right under the constitution to take matters into you own hands and deal with it yourself. What I am trying to say is that if a Christian kid kept telling gay kids that it is a sin to be gay, that is not his place to say that even though he may be right.
