No. Schools have agendas and I don't trust them not to indoctrinate. Religions should be researched and studied but not in a public school setting.

Yes - in history lessons.

no

I managed to get out of school with a qualification in religion without even knowing I was being entered for it.....

Yes... but only that it exists, how, why, and more importantly why it shouldn’t exist.
Of course that’s impossible...
... public education might advance a thousand years, school board would be burned at the stake, marshal law would be the law of the land...

More science and less fantasy of heaven or hell in our schools!

Sometimes that feels like the most difficult question in the world answer. OK, yes but what religions? And should we also include the danger of religious extremism? Should we warn our children that it is important to be open minded but at the same time it is Important also to be critical of other peoples opinions and views on the world particularly pertaining to religion and politics?

Religion could be included in history classes, since religion has significantly shaped world history for millennia. Religious texts could also be discussed in a literature class. Religion has no right to be included in science classes. Religious doctrine should never be taught in schools.

I believe in the separation of church and state. I don't know about schools today; when I was in K-12 grades, what I learned then (with the exception of reading, writing and arithmetic) was seldom applicable after I graduated. More emphasis on life skills would have been more helpful, such as how to apply for a job, for a rental application, the value of getting and sustaining a good credit rating, etc. Also, as a professional mediator, I believe it would have been helpful to have discussions on the nature and value of conflict. If all world leaders were also trained as mediators, there would never be a world war.

depends which religion? seriously I don't believe schools are the right forum for this. religious teaching is a family thing. they have appropriate venues their called churches

No if they do they should have their own place to practice their religion to each their own

Yes, all.of them.

Only as historical or as social studies,Teach courses in all religions, or in none.
Seperation of church and state.

As a general subject of comparison.

Oh, hell no.

no never it poisons children minds also if god??exists he had better have a good excuse

Oh hell no! I survived Catholic School indoctrination and would never wish that on any child. Religion is brainwashing, plain and simple. I believe in parents rights, but to force religion in school children is absurd. Who's religion? The dominant one, the most useful one for authority, or a hodge podge of superstitious nonsense?

Nope.

Teach don't preach

Only to the degree that is needed to understand some of the context of teaching history. Or perhaps to givw students a level of exposure to all the religions of the world.

I don't think religion should be taught in a science class as a way to explain how the natural world works. I do think it has it's place in social studies classes when touching on different cultures around the world. But no single religion should be focused on as the "right one".

Its the way that we teach it which should be debated. It is obviously part of our culture (as a species) and we should look at beliefs but also try answer the question why people believe what they do. This might help to bring non belief in to the majority

Absolutely not. Plain and simple.
