I get kind of irritated with the people considered the opposite of insensitive

                Today in Western Civilization we began our PowerPoint for the separation of powers. We didn’t get far, as we had a long open discussion. Mr. Schick started out by talking about how the system of balances and checks are still being applied today that were put into place many years in ago. For example, President Trump’s actions over banning certain countries from immigrating into the U.S. is being questioned by Legislation right now, but Trump is being backed by the Judicial branch. We somehow got into the topic of religion in schools. I think religion should be allowed if the school is public. However, instead of preaching one specific religion you could give a religion comparison class, or when telling kids to pray or whatever else they do to prepare to do so generically. This would save a lot of trouble when parents freak out saying ‘Oh my gosh, why are you teaching my child this? My child is ______ religion!’. It’s the people like this I can’t stand. If someone chooses to practice their religion in front of a class, just don’t participate. I’ve never heard of a religion that says they can’t listen to what someone else is saying simply because what the other person is saying isn’t based off of their religion.

  1. It would be nice if people actually learned about religions other than their own. Not that the intent would be to convert anybody, just to inform them. Then maybe some folks would be - what's the word I'm looking for? - the opposite of intolerant. :)
