"Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a Great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward..." (Deut.10:16-17).
"...We are here taught our duty to ourselves. Circumcise your hearts. Cast away all corrupt affections and inclinations, which hinder you from fearing and loving God. By nature we do not love God. This is original sin, the source whence our wickedness proceeds; and the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be; so then they that are in the flesh cannot please God, Rom. viii. 5-9. Let us, without delay or reserve, come and cleave to our reconciled God in Jesus Christ, that we may love, serve, and obey him acceptably, and be daily changed into his image, from glory to glory, by the Spirit of the Lord..." (excerpt from Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary: Deut.10:verses 12-22)
What it boiled down to was that so long as a man accepted Christ as his savior he would not have to be genitally mutilated.
aceptance of christ as your savior.

If by school you mean primary or high school, no. I am unaware of any school that teaches about circumcision in its curriculum.
Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin of the penis. The foreskin is a flap of skin that normally covers the glans (head) of the penis. Christians don't have any obligation to their religion to mutilate their genitalia through circumcision. It was decided that accepting Christ as their savior and that the sacrifice of Christ added up to circumcision of the heart.
Circumcision is a surgical procedure where the foreskin of the penis is removed. It is often done for cultural, religious, or medical reasons.
Jesus did not specifically address circumcision in his teachings. However, he emphasized the importance of inner spiritual transformation and following the commandments of love, compassion, and forgiveness. He taught that true circumcision of the heart, symbolizing a pure and sincere relationship with God, was more significant than physical circumcision.
In the New Testament of the Bible, circumcision is symbolically linked to spiritual purity and obedience to God. It is seen as a sign of belonging to the covenant community of believers and a symbol of the inward transformation of the heart. The apostle Paul emphasizes that true circumcision is of the heart, not just a physical act, highlighting the importance of faith and righteousness over outward rituals.
This refers to the Bible, speaking of the old covenant between the Jews and the Abrahamic god, in which circumcision was required as a sign of reverence and adoration. However, for Christians who accept the New Testament, this no longer required due to the new covenant that was made with Jesus. Circumcision of the heart thus became a metaphor for someone who was pious, kind, or devout.
Circumcision is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the foreskin from the penis. It is often performed for religious, cultural, or medical reasons. The term "circumcision" may be confused with "circumcision," which refers specifically to the surgical procedure, while "circumcision" generally pertains to the act or practice.
Circumcision is when you remove skin from genitalia. On the men the foreskin and on the women parts of the vulva or all of it. Female circumcision isn't called circumcision anymore but female mutilation since that is what it is. It's more extensive then it is on men and more damaging.

If you mean circumcision, It is removing the skin from the tip of the male sex organ, preferably (for him) at birth.
Circumcision is a practice mentioned in the Bible as a sign of the covenant between God and the people of Israel. It symbolizes purity, obedience, and dedication to God. In the New Testament, circumcision is seen as a spiritual act of the heart rather than a physical one. Christians believe that faith in Jesus Christ is what truly matters, not physical circumcision.
