This is a new course being offerred by CCPS (Comparative Religions). It will be taught by a social studies teacher. As one interested in the theory of religions this sounds neat. However, the course will almost certainly be subjective and have a bent toward Christianity -- as that teacher practices it. Even Christianity varies among denominations, not to mention the others. Unless we had a clear expert for each religion who can teach completely objectively, the course is doomed to fail or teach falsley. If the course happened to be taught by a Muslim, it would require an Imam and have to be done in Arabic to be done correctly (for the Quranic part.) then is it Shii or Sunni? Get the point. Too Many Variations (A Visionary Ottoman); or with all religions (Setec Astronomy.)
I think it is better just to keep religion out of the public schools altogether.
Maybe a course in Comparitive Worms would be better.
