You can teach faith, it just has to be our faith Options

This is retarded... Christian churches aren't allowed to go into a school and preach and "inform" the children about God and if they threatened a hate crime they would get laughed at.

If it really was presentation on culture and ethics then yeah, that's fine, but this is CAIR we're talking about, they always have an agenda.

There's a fine line between preaching and teaching. That goes for Christians, Muslims, Jews, anyone. I am an atheist as well and I would have little problem with group coming into school and giving my kids a presentation about xyz religion. However, it's such a touchy subject and it's so easy to cross the line between conveying information and proselytizing... that it should probably be avoided in the public schools altogether. I think it would better be handled as an after-school or weekend event so that it isn't mandatory and it isn't taking up normal school time.

I don't have a particular problem with Christianity being included in such presentations, but I think the point that Aaron was trying to get across was that such is less necessary given that most Americans have widespread exposure to Christianity, either from their own family or from the general community.

Talk about the subject all you want, just don't go worshiping or trying to convert kids in public school. And that goes for ANY religion.
