Screw their case. Keep religion out of our schools. ANY religion.
While I agree religion should be kept out of schools, I still think religious students deserve the ability to practice their chosen religion. At the end of the day a "prayer room" is just an empty quiet room where kids can go to do a religious prayer or do some "secular contemplation". There's nothing inherently religious about a quiet room, and it's not like the school is forcing every student to attend mass or perform daily prayers, it's simply an accommodation made to students who have a daily task to do based on their beliefs
I disagree. They can practice their religion at home. Not at the one place where logic and reasoning should be paramount over superstition.
My kids had a daily task to practice their creative writing, this doesn't mean the school needs to accommodate them. And if anyone argues that the religious task has more importance than creative writing, then we are right back into the territory we started at. Special treatment for any religion should not be part of school policy.
What are your thoughts on lunch menu options at school then? For example if a school is serving a pork meal should they be required to provide a special accommodation for religious students?
Good question. I had to think about it for a bit. I think I have to say my opinion is that if a child has special dietary needs they should be addressed by their parents. If the school is serving something your child can't eat, you should send a lunch. The same way a child with allergies would need to pack a lunch.
There are obviously some negative side-effects that could occur; like being singled out for not eating the main meal. But I would wager that most of that would actually be expressed as jealousy, and any actual bullying can be dealt with the same way as bullying for any other reason.
However, think that the upside of children learning that your religion is not important while at school would outweigh the possible negatives. Maybe it would even prevent some of these religious children from growing up to be religious adults who insist on having their myths brought into public unasked.
J'ai un enfant avec des allergies et nous lui faisons toujours sont lunch même pour une fête chez un ami. C'est un peu plate mais ce n''est si dur. Les vegans fonts les même chose.
Exactement. Merci d'avoir partage.
I would say that schools should offer a vegetarian alternative for anyone with dietary restrictions of the sort. Wether religious or by conviction of otherwise.
