Society & Culture
Summer Break - Let's revisit and in case you missed it Linda K. Wertheimer is an award-winning education journalist, essayist and author. Specifically, she is an educator teaching about religion...Faith Ed.. Not preaching, but teaching. And Linda makes sure that we understand the difference between preaching and teaching. Public schools are allowed to teach about religion. Teaching about different religions goes side by side with teaching about different cultures. ‘God was not kicked out of the schools. What was kicked out of the school was illegal preaching. Teachers have always been able to teach about religion, as a part of world history, a part of geography and a part of literature.’
