DeSantis Trying to Force Chaplains in Schools

[☆Dreamwind☆]

IMO religious studies should be avalible but not mandatory.

Unless in the context of history and social studies? No.

 

[We Never Know]

No

Its part of life for millions.

I thought they were 2 peas in a pod

1 pea was rather unpopular.

 

[Twilight Hue]

A living doing what?

Yea. Some people out there don't need to make a living.

Quite

IMO religious studies should be avalible but not mandatory.

Religious Education as taught in the UK, Australia etc does a good job of creating atheists.

That's not what I asked.

 

[Twilight Hue]

That's not what I asked.

Which is a pretty long list of occupations that cannot justify months if not years of naming all ways of making a living.

Then schools should probably teach a lot then, no?

Neither does activism belong in schools.

The Satanic Temple usually doesn't do activism except when it is called for by the activism of the religious.

Anything that is not part of the necessary curriculum that provides the tools necessary for a student to make a living.

OK, so don't encourage them to think on their own while being exposed to alternatives, right?

In school they need to concentrate on their studies. Particularly when in classes are in session.

And I supposedly said otherwise?

Does the governor actually have the authority - per the law as written - to do this, though? Wouldn't the selection of the chaplains all be done by individual school districts?

In short, I suspect this is really just a bunch of political posturing on his part and his office doesn't actually have the authority. But I dunno.

The governor would probably have the political pull for reprisals in some form against the school districts that don't play along with what he wants.

He also has the ear of Republican school trustees.

Probably, and a good job it might do so, given that not so many take science to any useful level and where this would likely make more atheists.

Who would pay for the studies? Wouldn't we have to give the various religions equal time? Would teaching contradictory facts in different classes cause any problems?

Great! It can be part of someone's life AFTER school hours. There's times and places for everything.

 

[Valjean]

Well, if you just concentrate on learning trades and don't teach them to think logically or reason abstractly, thinking on their own likely wouldn't occur to them. Without history or civics instruction they might not think of alternatives, either
A brave new world of peace and stability.

And for those people, they get plenty of exposure to religion without religion classes in public schools.

You could as the exact same questions about teaching history. Who would pay for history studies? Wouldn't we have to give various histories equal time? Would teaching contradictory facts in different classes cause any problems?

And those question would be just as absurd.
