Dark Posted September 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Dark' date=' you make an interesting point. I now wonder, would the school allow for that? Would they give this child some kind of separate opportunity to learn the same thing? Or what? Very thought-provoking.[/quote'] I think the school should have an option to refuse the right to educate the kid, as the religious demands surpass the school.

Lemniscate Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 The child would be punished for not following school rules, again, it's a question of harm vs. religious interest. In this case, the child would be punished for violating the rules of the school, religion is not an excuse to refuse education, as all children are required to be there, they cannot make a religious claim to not go to school, or to not participate.

Dark Posted September 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 But if schools have to honor religion, they should honor the fact that I cannot attend school in the daytime because of my sleeping habits. They should change school to nighttime. Simple solution, no? It's not "hurting" anyone else, technically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemniscate Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 But it is, it is requiring that others change their schedules and upend their lives in order to accommodate you.Honoring religion merely means that they cannot enforce that you stop believing in a religion, or do anything that would bring seriously adverse affects to your religious life and health, you have a right to believe what you believe, but you do not have a right to require that others do what want because of your beliefs.

Dark Posted September 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 But if the school can take me out of my math classes because of religion, surely they can move my classes (not the other kids) to nighttime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 He doesn't want to learn it because he says he might lose faith. I'm talking to him on AIM. I'm pretending I'm not an atheist' date=' because he doesn't know yet. Seriously, 98% of the school knows I am an atheist.[/quote']If his faith is that weak then avoiding taking 1 leason isn't going to change anything. also the fact that he doesn't know your an atheist just shows how ignorant he isMake him take it. Eradicate ignorance and have him and his family accept the truth. He'll probably refuse to learn and fail. This is just hear-say' date=' but I heard Catholic School Biology has a different curriculum than mainstream school where it doesn't involve evolution.[/quote']I don't remember if my Catholic did teach evlution but I think it did. Also the Christian I'm in right now is teaching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemniscate Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 But the teachers would be disrupted in their schedules. You not taking math doesn't disrupt anyone but yourself. You taking classes at night disrupts a lot of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 i think this is awsome i dont know if i will learn it i go to a catholic schoolAgain I think my Catholic did talk about it. And I know my current Christian does teach it. Also if what ever school you go to does something like state wide tests (in NY it's the regents) evolution will be on said test. Also, it's been said before you can't avoid this topic forever and at one point he will need to learn about it. Avoiding it now won't help in the long run and really will put him at a disadvantage when he learns it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khe Sahn Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 I think that they should be taught about evolution and all that, because even if it isn't proven or is against their faith, people who attend private catholic schools (who aren't all catholic) must learn about the christian beliefs and things like this.

Akira Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 If the guy's parents want to take him out of the class, we can't stop them, but they're not doing him any good what so ever. You might as well try shoving your fingers in your ears while saying "lalala I'm not listening" as somebody tries to prove to you that 2+2=4.

Dissidia Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 It's messed up. It's not like if he learns about it, he will be burned alive. I really hate homework, so if someone doesn't have to do homework cus they can't suck it up for about 2 weeks, then i say f*** you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexta McSignals Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 he should learn about evolution because it's very real look how people grow up they go froman atomtospermtoalmost human formtocompletely human evolution still happens today so he should learn about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
