[quote=Anonymous][quote]lease explain to me how a public school addresses the issue of religious diversity? I don't think that this is an "idiotic" statement.

I mean, not just having kids of different religious backgrounds, but actually teaching children that there are different religious beliefs out there, what they believe, how they practice, etc.? From my limited exposure to public schools, most public school teachers and administrators don't trust themselves to teach about different religions beyond a few paragraphs in a history textbook, so that they don't violate separation of church and state. You can't perform religious ceremonies at school. You can't bring in religious practitioners to talk about what they believe and how they practice. So, explain, please, how a public school is able to address the religion meaningfully?[/quote]

Of course, typical refrain...how does public school address religious diversity if the teachers don't teach it from a textbook or power point presentation.  You can still live in your bubble in public school waiting for education from from the podium and a textbook or you can rub shoulders with Jews, atheists, Christians and Muslim students and get a real education!!
