Religious Studies?

On the agenda for tonight's school meeting is Item 11.1 Discussion: Release Time for Religious Study. This is under New Business - No Action Requested.

How did this ever get on the agenda?

You want your kid(s) to study religion? There is plenty of time after school and nights and week-ends. Why should schools "release" students during the school day for that?

Read the presentation here. It will be interesting to see who makes the presentation.

Now, lest you think I am anti-religion, I favor classes in comparative religion. Kids today have their hands full just trying to master reading, writing, and 'rithmetic. How about cursive writing and telling time other than with a digital clock? Let's get the basics covered first.

Religion is good, on your own time.
