Oppression in College Classrooms

I disagree with your disagreement.Religion is saying that there is a black cat in that cellar.
Theology is trying to find that cat, regardless whether that search is successful or not.Christian theology tries, among other things, to understand and explain God. That does not necessarily mean that it has succeeded.Edited by dwise1, : necessarily

No, since it has absolutely nothing to do with science.However, at some point there should be some kind of discussion or presentation concerning what science is, what it tries to do, and how it works. And concerning the relationship between science and religion and why the supernatural has no role in science. This would properly belong in a philosophy of science class, but since most students will not take such a class (or that class would not be offered or it would only be an upper-division or graduate class), that discussion/presentation could be in the course's introductory lecture. There are a lot of popular misconceptions about science vis--vis religion that need to be corrected and, since no church (besides the Unitarians) is about to do that job, the science classroom would be the most likely candidate. Take a few minutes at the start to clear up those misunderstandings, then go about the business of teaching science.
