Opinion on Relgion

I believe religion should be removed from teaching in all schools for the reason that in can cause too much controversy in schools and also outside of schools. Because in schools there are people of all kinds of religions in which may or may not be in their religion to learn or be taught things about another religion. Also people have different beliefs and their own opinions. So talking about religion can go against what they believe and can also offend people. For example what if there is an atheist in a school and the school begins to talk about how God created life and world. This goes against what that atheist believe and can offend him/her.

There were court cases in the year two thousand which dealt with intelligent design and evolution and this caused so much drama and conflict within the school district of Dover. People lost their jobs and were taken to court over something that could’ve been avoided if only they didn’t talk about intelligent design and evolution in the first place.

In conclusion I don’t think religion should be taught in School District of Philadelphia just to prevent any more conflict and drama dealing with religion, something that’s not even going to help us in the real world any way.
