Religion in schools


To me I think it don’t matter that religion should be taught in schools or not. If you want to learn religion in school you should go to a private school, not a public school. I never had an incident in school. When I was in China, students in school don’t even talk about religion. School is a place to learn, the students cares about their grades and whether they did good in school or not. Nobody cares about religions. So in China, the students never had something to do with religion, whether they believe in Christian, Buddhism, and Muslim, they go to public schools. So why not in the United States, students should care about their grades not religion. Religion in the United States causes a lot of troubles like some cases that deals with religion in school.
A case about religion in school is Alleghney County v.ACLU (1989) about Greater Pittsburgh Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union and seven local residents, filed suit seeking permanently to enjoin the county from displaying a nativity and the city from displaying a menorah on the ground that the displays violated the Establishment Clause f the First Amendment, made applicable to state government by the Fourteenth Amendment.
