No wonder they have a trump profile

Okay good, just glad it isn't the only thing they teach, for at least some of them. I like people to be aware of all beliefs before coming to a decision on what they want to do.

Well, don't be that optimistic, some people teach respect for other religions but that's it, and other are very close minded to others' traditions. Public schools do not teach religion, but usually have only Christmas stuff for example. However there are private schools that can be religion based but parents choose those schools for their kids. I only know of catholic and jewish private schools though and greek orthodox

:((( At my school for religion study we had to study many different religions, and went to visit temples and stuff, it was a Catholic school, in my current school we mostly had debates about morals, nothing overly religious, just had to loop it back to God at some point. But you are totally right, I have never heard of a non-religious private school... Sucks that private education has to be paired with religion like that.

Shit . @calvinoot I am using a IPad (the first generation lol) and I hitting the downvote on you accidently, so I threw a couple of up votes on the other comments. I have trouble on this tablet hit up votes sometimes. My grandkid has taken over my newest tablet for games.lol

That is great @calvinoot ! Where are you from? I live in the US but I went to school in Latin America, most people there can't even comprehend that there are other religions other than Christian religions lol there are of course but even less education about them than in the US

All good man lol no need for an explanation!

@itsamemaria I'm from Australia man! I think it is crazy not to involve other religions... How you meant to come to your own decision or be open minded if they don't let you see more?

Well most of the time you don't. In Latin america though is more like we all celebrate Christmas and observe "easter" although very different than United states. And we just assume everyone else does too. I do remember meeting few people from other religions (mainly jehovah witness, probably Muslims, and knew of jewish people) but not at all as common as USA. I donlove to learn about other cultures and traditions though so I doubt mind learning about other religions. Back home my school had a religion class but it was Christianity taught by a nun, and my school was private but not religious and we would pray before the anthem everyday, but that's just of how common and "normal" being catholic is.

Anthem? Did you have chapel services? We had those. What do you mean by anthem though? Do you have community songs and stuff during any services? My mother was taught by a nun but most religious classes now are taught by teachers, the pastor or christian teachers.

No, national anthem. We would sing that everyday too. My school was not really religious though. Other schools had catholic names and most teachers were nuns. Not mine we had a nun for religion class but just for a year or two other years was our regular teacher. But we still prayed then sing national anthem when in formation before going into class. However, eventhough it was a very catholic country and all I remember one day one kid stood up in religion class and he said very politely that he was not allowed to be in that class because his parents have taught him he shouldn't follow what they were teaching (the kid was Christian and nun of course was catholic) and I rmemeber nun said she was focusing on teaching about jesus (something incommon for both religions) and his life/teachings so he could stay and listen about that or he could step out also. Both were polite to each other. No outrage from either side like now we see so much.

Oh well I am glad they were polite and respectful, and it is crazy that you sing the national anthem everyday!? That is just... Wild! Man, the world is a weird and wonderful place, huh?

Lol I gues to us it was normal. In my school full anthem on mindays shirt version other days and I think fridays state one . Haha. One time by mistake, we skipped singing the anthem (long story) and we got in huge trouble though. You guys don't sing it? Any day? Or just line sporting events? Because I feel if I want forced to sing it everyday i wouldn't have known the lyrics. How do you learn it?

I mean sometimes we would do the 'We acknowledge the (insert aboriginal tribe located in that area) people" whenever we have sporting events and stuff, I think we sing sometimes, sporting events would be the only place I remember singing it. Now that I think about it... I think we did sing it at my old school during assemblies which happened around every second Friday. I can't even remember learning it! But at this school I have never once sung it lol.
