SRE in schools
Insights program SBS on RE in schools tonight proved one thing very clearly: Many, if not most people, are very passionate about religion . Australia must be a truly wonderful democratic place-- to think all that passion can be channeled into an agreed syllabus, to be taught by the passionate .
On consensus then , it would be wrong surely for one religion to teach only one faith in the most common schools in the country . That would be to go back to Europe and Presettlement.
Noone wants that ( Most parents agree to let their kids do RE )-- except the aethists- its seems. They want there own faith taught exclusively ( they flood the afters discussion with those thoughts ) .
Like most of us, we can't always see clearly when we are passionate ! Best to put it down in writing and let the teachers test whether all that talk on the website meets a basic standard of sound rhetoric across the profession involved !
