Depending on how the religion is taught, many argue that this could cause them to think negatively about their parents and why they believe in a certain religion when there are several different ones. Many will argue that teaching religion in school is an excellent way to teach values to children. Some believe that teaching the values from different religions helps to encourage personal reflection in students that teaches them to be aware of their actions and decisions and also inspires tolerance.
Other people believe that ethical values can be taught in other ways. The argument is that many non-religious households are successful in raising their children to be respectful and caring individuals who function well in society and who are accepting and tolerant of those from diverse backgrounds. People believe that there are plenty of other ways to instill ethics and morals in children that have nothing to do with religion. From non-religious stories that teach values to historic examples of great people that had nothing to do with religion, the argument is made that ethics are not synonymous with religion, so why should that be a reason for religions to be taught in schools?
Those on this side of the debate will argue that when it comes to ethics, religion may not be the best standard by which to teach it due to the often-glaring contrasts that are found in certain religions. Religion does have the potential to divide as does politics or any other Human phenomenon especially if it is not understood. Therefore it is even more important to develop a greater understanding of it to prevent division, ignorance and prejudice especially with the increase in multi-faith societies.
This assumes that religion is being taught as a way to learn about all religions. Often this will not be the case. This could have the opposite effect from that hoped for by the proposition. The first question you must ask when looking at this is what about the people who are of different or no faith. Is it worth alienating just one person so that the rest of society can do what they want? If so, I would call that communism and I believe that every individual should have a say in what goes on.
If we bring education into the classroom then we are just bringing prejudice into the classroom. This will surely lead to the nonbelievers being outcasts in a place where they are supposed to just be learning. Why bring something that is totally irrevalent and based off of beliefs, not pure facts, be brought into the classroom?
No because…. Yes because…. Notify of. But under the new curriculum, set to be rolled out in schools from September , the lessons will be compulsory, regardless of parental objections. Under the changes, Wales will become the first part of the UK to remove the opt-out for religious education. Ministers have argued making the subjects mandatory ensures all children have access to important information and that it is consistent with the status of other subjects.
But Sir Malcolm, a member of the Commission on Religious Education and Professor of Law at Bristol University, said removing the opt-out option for religious classes could breach human rights. Under the European Convention on Human Rights parents have a right to have their children educated in accordance with their religious or philosophical convictions, which also includes non-religious belief.
Sir Malcolm said unless the Welsh Government could be "absolutely sure" the lessons were "sufficiently inclusive, plural, critical and objective" they would be open to legal challenges. He said he agreed with the principle of delivering a broad education about different religious and faith traditions and non-faith traditions too, but problems were likely in practice. Humanists UK are also opposed to scrapping the opt-out because they fear faith schools will not provide a sufficiently broad approach to religious education.
She urged the Welsh Government to "seriously reconsider the decision" to remove the parental right to withdraw pupils from religious education. In response to the concerns, the Welsh Government said the proposed legislative framework and guidance would be compatible with the rights protected by the Human Rights Act New plan for how children will be taught revealed.
Sex and religious education to be made compulsory. Relationship focus for new sex education.
