Two Wings, One Human Rights (2)
In addition, on the same order of ideas, Feinberg’s writing talks about how Religion could not be forgotten in the schools, being this idea one of the most powerful statements in the text, because he referred that would be like ignoring some facts in the history and for that reason could be taught in classrooms. He also seeks to include the Bible in some classes to relocate the student in the past and letting them know what was written in those papers. At the same time, he prefers the unanimity among any religion than a critical thinking.
Moreover, sometimes in the Feinberg’s text can be showed how Nord tries to impose the religion in some subjects, for example, “the religious point of view should be present in every subject matter, from literature and economics to math and biology” (433). Nord’s position was very straight in reach that religion should be shown in classes; even once proposes to implement an introductory course that longs one semester on Bible, and other religions.
In comparison, Kodelja presents the Slovenian curricula that have some optional courses in each grade and other obligatory topics to choose. He also explains when he is talking about arguments for teaching about religions in public schools that all the countries should have their courses in a general religion view so, in this way they are not proselytizing; instead, they are being objectives with the world truth.
Clearly, both themes are explained by two great philosophers and lovers of religion, and they try to explain in the most openly way how religion must be included on the education, and just like the physics, they have a balance on it; in this way, all that includes people needs to have equity. Here is when begins some doubts about the advantages that brings have the religion as a course or not. Definitely, when a child learns about the past, beliefs, and rules being told by a person that they don’t know (Some god) in some way, this is the main rule by the society; they learn about the ethics that are in the world. And the most important thing, with the goal that nothing is imposed and in this way; there is no obligation.
