double standards and church and state :: essays research papers

      twin standards be when there are a trim of rules for one set of people and another set of rules for another set of people. How dose this pretain to the seperation of church building and state do you ask? Relgion in school is my answer. We as scholars are not supposed to preach our religion in school. But along with that there is in addition a section within each of our text edition books that is all some religion.     Teachers tell us that those are only classics and we concur no reason to complain. Then they expect and incourage us to discuss astir(predicate) the a religiose storys within our text books. This act makes some(prenominal) disciples religios or not uncomfortable. I know this because I have asked several assimilators how they felt about the issue.       wizard scholarly person had told me how he had to go through a interchange an disbeliever student had brought up about his thoughts and bele ifs on religion. This made the student i asked very uncomfortable and angery at the fact that the atheist student was preaching , as my friend felt, against my friends religion to his class. This act of discussing, as the teachers specify it, made this sertain student very angery at the fact that the teacher brook sit there and let the student preach against someones beliefs. Knowing that many people, not only the student I spoke to, believed in what the atheist was aposeing. So my friend was not the only one angery at that give-and-take and not showing it, but many were.     This issue of discussion also gose other ways. For example, say a Jewish student was assigned ,along with the equilibrium of the class, a religious short story on a Christian belief. When he returns to the school and the teacher starts a discussion on the story. The teacher explains the back ground of the religion and gets into great detail . To this Jewish student this sound alot unifo rm preching the Chrisian beliefs to the class. There could also be a variant student in the class that had the same problem and he or she just happens to be a Buddist, Muslim, Mormand, ect. This explaining of the Christian religion could sound like preching to anyone with a different religous back ground.     Anyone that can make a student quit reciteing the Pledge of Allegiance every day just because of the statement, "One nation under God".
