I teach 4th and 5th grade first of all, so what I am willing or able to teach as far as religious based creationism is limited. I do teach about other cultures, customs, and holidays, in fact thats a huge part of our social studies. These teachings include wars or invasions that have been based on religious views. I am in no way closed minded to the rest of the world or think that my students should be kept in some sort of bubble. However, as a teacher there is a fine line that we have to walk. Not all parents are open to any type of religion being taught, and at times I have had parents opt their children out of any learning of other cultures other than their own.
