    One morereason to like the fact France dont have any lesson on religion in its schools. (But let’s be honest, there is also a aweful lot to dislike in our schools.)

      It’s illegal to teach religion in US schools unless it’s specifically a class about religion. Which typically happens only in college

        Maybe it’s because I’m in the deep south, but my high school had old testament & new testament classes when I attended.

          That’s technically allowed as long as they are either extra curricular or electives

            It was an elective for me in the very far north, too. I took “Bible as Literature” where it was just like any other English class.

      Kids should be taught about religion, because religion is an important part of society.

      Notice I said taught about, not taught. They shouldn’t be taught that any religion is true, just that “Here’s a popular religion, and here’s what these people believe.”
