How is that kid supposed to learn values?
You believe very young children can make an informed choice. I don't. And remember, I'm not speaking about highschoolers here, I'm speaking about 4-7 year olds.SOMEONE has to teach values to the kid. Why not expose children to many beliefs, and let them CHOOSE?
or are u just artificially limiting ur argument.Comment

With regard to proselytism, yes, I think highschoolers can take it, and thus see religious garments.Originally posted by yavoon

The French haven't enshrined free speech the same way as Americans, and as a result, there are some things you aren't free to say, such as calls for racist hatred, and calls for murder.Originally posted by DinoDoc
French aversion to free speech.
Many French racists look at the US as an example. Never mind that, at the same time, they want to ban left-wing newspapers and Marxist books from libraries."I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

The French are fine by me.
Sure, we've had lots of rows in the 100 years of the Entente Cordiale... but doesn't democracy thrive on debate and different ideas?Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street. And some carry Allah in their heart.

Kids shouldn't be educated ANY religious beliefs at all. Noone should talk to them about god, at all, until they're grown up, and can make those decisions themselves.Comment

Why?Noone should talk to them about god, at all, until they're grown up, and can make those decisions themselves.
Religious people will disagree because they believe faith is an important part of morals, and that to really teach their child how to live a moral life, requires knowledge of religion.
Those without religion will not teach their children religion, because they believe the opposite.
Why not let each parent exercise their right to teach their children how to live a moral life, as they see fit?
How would you enforce such a ban on parents teaching their children about religion? Good luck.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Why don't the French just ban religion? It would be fairly clear where they stand then.
As it is, they're just banning religious children.Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street. And some carry Allah in their heart.

By that logic, kids shouldn't be educated any moral beliefs at all, until they are grown up and can make those decisions by themselves.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
