Brain Storming for our Secular School Curriculum

[Balthazzar]

I agree. But do we want people voting in ignorance? (Certain political factions certainly do).

Maybe we should limit voting rights to those with a higher education.

 

[Balthazzar]

Yep, English language

Maybe or maybe my own unique vernacular.

 

[Secret Chief]

Agreed except for what I've stricken out above.

I see your reasoning. My inclusion of religions is because they play (for better or worse) an important part in the adult world and so I would say an understanding of them is beneficial. My inclusion of philosophy is to engender critical thinking skills in its various aspects.

I agree, but with all the controversy surrounding religion in this nation, it may be best to save these things for higher learning or individual efforts apart from federally funded institutions.

 

[Balthazzar]

I'll deem this prep work for just in case scenarios, where some of us may be left behind.

No religion allowed, nor aspect of religious involvement in our curriculum from K to 12.

Mathematics
Language

Emphasis on: Law, Civics, and History, but only if it does not involve religion

Biology
Science/physics/Astro physics

We also need something adequate for food and health benefits/dietary learning

Physical Education will need to be parent approved.

Literature will need to be limited to only fact oriented and non-religious subjects

Keep theology at home (All of of it).

I think it would be foolish to leave religion out. You cannot possibly study Humanity without looking at humanity's religions, at least in broad strokes. That is not, of course, studying theology. (Frankly, I don't even know what studying theology actually means. I mean, when you study geology, you can look at earth and rocks and strata and syn- and anticlines and all manner of real stuff. To study theology, however, you cannot study God -- only what some people thought about God.)

Religions is more of a meh in this (UK) country. RE is a yawnfest for most kids (I work in a school).

Will we be doing this for homework then?

A broad scoped term it is.

Tricky be the one who see only what wanted.

 

[Balthazzar]

Will we be doing this for homework then?

Probably not, but as a prep once deemed stoner and slacker, I'll suggest it important enough to consider the effort just in case, and if not that, for better preparation and effectiveness according to our perceived needs as individuals.

Not Spanish.

I'll get ChatGBT fired up ready then!

I never much enjoyed ChatGBT insight for its lack of, but I understand the association well enough to acknowledge a needed addition for psychological, sociological, and philosophical influence as these relate to human decision making and pursued efforts. For fact checking it's ok "sometimes", other times I'm searching google scholar for relevant articles.

You must have missed the applied sarcasm thick on that statement.

Nope. I didn't. Just pointing out the obvious

That song is anything but ironic........

I will say I don't understand the point of the OP. Schools are already secular as is. The current goal is to keep them that way.
