Schools should remain secular and by including materials that are associated with creationism it's likely that there is only one type of creation theory being taught and it's probably Christian. This might favor a "majority" but doesn't favor the opinions of and doesn't protect those who don't agree or have other religious beliefs that don't align with said majority. https://padlet.com/pebr9918/p0fkfamknf0dfnjs/wish/1414328630 2021-04-13 23:49:54 UTC https://padlet.com/pebr9918/p0fkfamknf0dfnjs/wish/1414328630 I don't think they should. Facts should be taught. I think that cultural values should be taught from an educational standpoint, but not necessarily enforced. Not sure if that makes sense. https://padlet.com/pebr9918/p0fkfamknf0dfnjs/wish/1414328707 2021-04-13 23:49:57 UTC https://padlet.com/pebr9918/p0fkfamknf0dfnjs/wish/1414328707 Given that the SCOTUS continually sides with "religious freedom," I think this would be no different.

I think that they would likely argue that there is a secular purpose in teaching "alternative theories" and that it is not producing entanglement or endorsement because many religions believe in creationism not just Christianity.]]> 2021-04-13 23:50:56 UTC https://padlet.com/pebr9918/p0fkfamknf0dfnjs/wish/1414330570 https://padlet.com/pebr9918/p0fkfamknf0dfnjs/wish/1414330889 I'd probably push for state funding of private schools ]]> 2021-04-13 23:51:07 UTC https://padlet.com/pebr9918/p0fkfamknf0dfnjs/wish/1414330889 I'd include it in magnet schools and call it philosophy. https://padlet.com/pebr9918/p0fkfamknf0dfnjs/wish/1414330965 2021-04-13 23:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/pebr9918/p0fkfamknf0dfnjs/wish/1414330965 I think we need to clarify the distinction between culture and religion.
