I guess I meant what Locker said. Public schools are secular. Not that religion isn’t discussed at all, of course, as in comparative religion or specific religious ties to large groups of people.

It’s important for me to point out, I feel, because people have this idea that secular education means you can’t mention religion at all. Sixth grade includes big units on Judaism and Christianity, seventh covers Islam, and a whole lot of other faiths get covered as those two years go by.

But people will still try to insist that it’s ‘illegal’ to tell children that early American settlers were Christians, or to talk about the Bible in a public school class. Total BS.
