Le me get this straight...you want public school teachers teaching religion to your kids?

So, what would be acceptable qualifications for a public school teacher to teach religion as a part of the school curriculum?

Brain to keyboard issues again. I don't think religion should be TAUGHT in schools but it should not be censored. What I was thinking is that if the parents thought that religion was being taught in school by allowing ID, or if they don't like a religious atmosphere allowed, or if they even go as far as to object to religion being referred to in classes, espeically like in history, then they have the option. There are attempts to teach a religionless version of history using the argument that by teaching about it and it's role in the course of history is the same as "endorsing" it. If the parents are that concerned about what their child is being exposed to as far as religion is concerned then they have the option of pulling the kids out instead of forcing everyone else to accept their godless world view by trying to have every mention of a god removed from the classroom.
