That sounds like they're throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Teachers will always demonstrate allegiance to some sort of moral/political views in teaching certain subjects. At least the kids will know what biases they're dealing with if the teachers tell them.
My social class teacher was very secretive with his both his beliefs and where he falls on the political compass. Everyone kept asking him out of curiosity, but he never answered. Nor did he ever show any signs.
I think that's the subject where those things would be the most prevalent, but the same things applied to all my teachers. Not a single one of them showed or said what their personal beliefs were.

When we got a new math teacher, we got to ask her questions. My friend asked if she believed in any religion, and she replied with: "Okay, any real questions now?"

They shouldn't. I never implied otherwise.

Then the form of defense that is attacking others is still not justified.

This reminds me when a teacher took away my HP book when I was in 6th grade. Thinking about it now, maybe he was baffled that witches weren't being burned in the book.

They do indoctrinate them. Just that it's the wrong doctrine (atheism).


Science is not a belief system, but if teaching children to look at facts and evidence is considered indoctrinating them I'll be happy to participate

Sickness... I think I've posted this every time in response to these threads.

These people are mentally ill and should be treated as so. The mentally retarded shouldn't be allowed to reproduce or have any say in the direction of society, that they constantly segregate themselves from, especially in the case of religious fundamentalists who perform such an action voluntarily.

Not every person who is a religious fundamentalist follows the right wing agenda on economics and only in the US does christianity play such a large role in government decisions. You really do a good job of making yourself look like an idiot.

OT: I don't think this is a fair shot at all christians. It's usually only the crazy or stupid cases that get attention which makes the whole group look bad.

Anyway, isn't the First Amendment taken away in school if it disturbs the learning environment? I'm not really educated on this kind of stuff so if someone could enlighten me...

Except left wingers do the same thing. They just use different terms to describe the closely held but you-better-not-question-them beliefs. Or do I have to get that audio of a North Carolina teacher going apeshit on her student because he dared to question her pathetic Bush bashing by pointing out Obama?

What you believe guides what you consider to be right or wrong. If you don't believe that a human being is a human until they've left the womb, you're not going to have a problem with abortion. If you believe that vaccinations are an evil government conspiracy to poison the minds of your children, then you're going to be against vaccination. Not believing in God changes your moral perspective.

Most American Christians dont go to church or read the bible either which is what makes this even more ridiculous. The only difference between an average Christian and a non religious atheist is one believes in a god and the other doesnt.

Atheism isn't about moral beliefs either, it is simply not believing in any supernatural, what you do beyond that is up to you as an individual, there are no moral guidlines to follow as a result of being an atheist.

Everyone is born an atheist, there is no indoctrination needed, now if you want to talk about specfic groups of people, ones who believe they need to counter and fight religion for a better future, or ones who maybe believe we need eugenics to better the human populations, whatever the ideas they have could be indoctrinated into children.

I'm about as right-wing as anyone can get.

If the allegations are true, than the teacher needs to be fired, the child needs a direct apology, and the school needs to provide some kind of compensation for their actions. It is inexcusable to ostracize a child for simply holding non-traditional religious beliefs and opinions.

I'm sure some right-wingers disagree with me, but the right-wing is not a monolith anymore than the left-wing is. Stop generalizing so much.

Not necessarily.

I speak from the personal experience of having been both a believer and a non-believer. Some people don't think too much about the basis of their morality though, and for them I agree that it wouldn't change their perspective too much, at least in the short term.

That bolded section is a framework by which people construct moral values. 'Up to you as an individual' is a pillar on which you construct many of those values. So yes, as I was saying, that choice of belief that there are no gods is a framework with which people are indoctrinated into a system of moral beliefs. There are many different systems of moral beliefs with which an atheist can be indoctrinated into, but it's still indoctrination.

I'm glad you wrote this too because it helps to show where the distinction is. I agree with this paragraph you wrote, but that's still consistent with everything else I've written too. Hopefully that now makes sense when I say a 'moral framework' as opposed to a 'set of moral beliefs'. The framework is the basic premises that you build up the beliefs from, or the foundation with which you lay the beliefs on, depending on how you wish to look at it.
Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts.

Everyone is also born naked, selfish and ignorant, but I doubt those are virtues you think are good.




Hey, naked is good.

Well in America it's the same too. Separation of Church and State. The only way it would be allowed is in a religious studies class.


Yeah, they banned religious study classes up here a few years back.


Actually, they have not.

Germany is supposedly a less secular Country than the USA, has mandatory Religious Classes and still no Teacher would ever come up with something like that.

Not believing in God changes your moral perspective.

I think you mean not believing in RELIGION changes your moral perspective.

And, I agree.

I believe there is no such thing as "sin".....only subjective right and wrongs.

I don't believe being gay is a "sin" or wrong.

I don't believe murder is necessarily wrong, since there are many situations where it can be right.

And so on....

Most American Christians dont go to church or read the bible either which is what makes this even more ridiculous. The only difference between an average Christian and a non religious atheist is one believes in a god and the other doesnt.

As an American ex-Christian I believe I'm very qualified to answer this statement.

I attended an Evangelical Christian Church for 15 years....in that time I saw a lot and learned even more about Christianity.

#1 there are many levels of Christianity....some are very devout, others are "Christian in name only", the majority though are somewhere in the middle.

#2 the majority of Christians in the "middle" are the types that keep a bible at home, will go to church on Sundays and maybe religious holidays and maybe even pray.....other than that, they are as secular as they come....if anything, these are the Christians you will rarely have a problem with.

#3 "Devout" Christians and fundamentalists are the loudest voices and the ones that really make Christianity look bad, however they are also the minority.

#4 I truly believe that the overwhelming majority of Christians and for that matter religious people in general don't really believe 100% in God or their own beliefs for that matter.

Think about it.

God is supposedly all knowing and all powerful, and yet most people don't live their lives the way the "Devout" religious people live.

Why?

If they truly, TRULY believe in this stuff don't they know that this life and earth are NOTHING compared to the afterlife?

Why live for this world and it's many "distractions" when you will have an ETERNITY in heaven?

And don't you get it that God can see everything you do?

I don't think he likes you fapping to cartoons.


Seriously though, most Christians are secular in their daily life, religion and God is a comfort mechanism so they don't get sad about the unknowns such as death and why we exist or what our purpose is.

@alex i probably should not have said "most" but rather "many".

Ironically both Christians and non religious Atheists have mix ups betwee eachother. There are Christians who dont believe in god and just do it to fit in with people and not be criticised and there are atheists who actually do beleive in a higher power oddly enough because they dont know what atheist really means probably confusing it with "non religious".

The teacher was in the wrong and it doesn't matter how it's twisted, that fact will not change. Either she a) punished him for offending another child or b) punished him for lack of beliefs.

In either case, the punishment not only doesn't fit but isn't warranted. Disagreeing with someone does not in and of itself warrant punishment and certainly not some asinine attempt to ostracize a child. She could have taken the time to explain that people have different beliefs and not everyone is going to agree, something every child needs to learn. The fact the district believes she was in the right, is even more disturbing to me.

They could have easily made an apology and acknowledged the teacher was in the wrong. Dismissing her may not have even been necessary in such a case, although I am of the personal opinion the inability to solve this issue in a reasonable manner does show she isn't qualified to be an educator.

I'm not a fan of lawsuits and feel that America is "sue happy", but by refusing to 'own' their mistake, I find myself hoping they lose.

I wouldn't necessarily go as far as firing the teacher, but some disciplinary action should be taken, and the kid should be apologized to and compensated. If they are unwilling to recognize their wrongdoing, then I hope the lawsuit comes down hard.

Talk about misrepresentation.

Kazou said:
Not necessarily.

I speak from the personal experience of having been both a believer and a non-believer. Some people don't think too much about the basis of their morality though, and for them I agree that it wouldn't change their perspective too much, at least in the short term.

Gohadoken said:


Atheism isn't about moral beliefs either, it is simply not believing in any supernatural, what you do beyond that is up to you as an individual, there are no moral guidlines to follow as a result of being an atheist.

That bolded section is a framework by which people construct moral values. 'Up to you as an individual' is a pillar on which you construct many of those values. So yes, as I was saying, that choice of belief that there are no gods is a framework with which people are indoctrinated into a system of moral beliefs. There are many different systems of moral beliefs with which an atheist can be indoctrinated into, but it's still indoctrination.

Atheism alone isn't a set of beliefs or morals.

I'm glad you wrote this too because it helps to show where the distinction is. I agree with this paragraph you wrote, but that's still consistent with everything else I've written too. Hopefully that now makes sense when I say a 'moral framework' as opposed to a 'set of moral beliefs'. The framework is the basic premises that you build up the beliefs from, or the foundation with which you lay the beliefs on, depending on how you wish to look at it.


With that argument I can say anything is a moral framework; being a human being, being born in the usa, being a man or woman, being white or black, anything that might be a determining factor on my perspective of the world. I don't understand the point, the only thing we were talking about is indoctrination into atheism, and the point is you can't because it alone has nothing to do with beliefs, morals, or any of that. Simply means show me some empirical evidence and I'll agree, on whatever topic, even religion. I know older people that don't believe in god but still goto chruch, still love church, just because it's important to them and their community and feel it does great good in the world.

We weren't talking about that. You seem to think I'm suggesting that people are either indoctrinated into a religion or 'indoctrinated into atheism'. Not quite.

I'm suggesting that when people try to teach children the difference between what they ought to do and what they ought not to do, they're indoctrinating them. We can argue all we want about whether or not it's better that they are being indoctrinated with a set of religious beliefs and values (and let's stay on topic, we're talking about modern Christian values here) or being indoctrinated with some sort of quasi-liberal progressive secular humanist (equalist) beliefs and values, but it's important to recognise that what's happening is still indoctrination, as all moral education necessarily is.
Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts.

Over there, I'm everywhere. I know that.
