Re: False idea of Separation of Church from State
Obviously I mean TEACHING religion itself, and preaching it, not teaching ABOUT religions.
Faith,
Far be it from me to comment on how education is, or should be organized in your country, but I cannot help but wonder why you don't understand that separation of church and state must mean that teaching and preaching religion in publicly funded schools is unconstitutional.
If you ask yourself whether it is proper to teach religion in public schools, and your answer is 'yes', then the next question should logically be which religion should be taught, and it should immediately become obvious that this is where the problem lies. Your constitution is the way it is because the people who framed it were wise enough to see this problem.
It shouldn't need spelling out.
