"By not teaching children about multiple religions, we’re not fully educating them about cultures, many of which they may encounter while living in such a diverse society as the United States."
Yes! Regardless of personal feelings on religion, kids need to be aware and informed
English
From @thatkristen:
"What I learned was that whether or not your family engages in a specific religious practice, it’s important for children to understand the history and cultural implications of all religions, which are, of course, complicated."

The text of an Ohio bill re: students' religious liberty pretty much just reiterates existing protections, despite how it is being reported. But will it actually increase educators' knowledge & skills when they encounter religion at school?

It's so encouraging to see such strong support for civics and religious literacy. How do we build capacity for schools and educators so that all students have access to high quality civic and #religiousliteracy education?
Scott Abbott (scotteabbott.bsky.social)@scotteabbott
Results from 2019 #PDKpoll show teachers rate civic prep above college/career prep, large majorities of adults (parents & teachers) think civics should be required, & strong support for building religious literacy via comparative religion courses #CivXNow pdkpoll.org/assets/downloa…
English
According to new data from @pdkintl, 76% of parents & 87% of teachers think that comparative religion classes should be offered as an elective for all students. So how do we get more schools to offer classes about religion?
