Horace Mann believed that religion should not be taught in schools to ensure the separation of church and state and to promote a common, secular education for all students, regardless of their religious backgrounds. He argued that public education should focus on civic virtues and moral values that could unite a diverse population, rather than potentially dividing it along religious lines. Mann advocated for a system that emphasized critical thinking and universal principles rather than specific religious doctrines. This approach aimed to foster social harmony and inclusivity in a pluralistic society.

Should religion be taught in public school?

I think religion should be taught in public schools. It should not say this is what's right to believe and this is what's wrong, but students should be educated about the most predominant religions. It would allow students to get a better understanding of something and allow for more acceptance and maybe some will find a religion that suits them more.
