ARGUMENT: RELIGION SHOULD BE ALLOWED IN SCHOOL!

• Assertion/Claim: Religion should be allowed in school.
• Evidence: If religion is allowed in school, it will prepare kids for the future in many different ways. 
•  Commentary One : If you learn about all the different religions, then maybe people would understand what goes on in the world. When 9/11 happened, a lot of people thought it was a hate crime. But in all actuality, it was a religious thing.
• Commentary Two: If people understand the different types of religion, then maybe there would not be such misunderstanding. People would also know what offends people and how to not do that.
• Evidence: If the kids are taught about religion in school, they are free to make their own decisions and not have their hands forced by someone else, and they will be able to understand more about it.
• Commentary One: If you teach all religion in school, kids are more likely to understand it. There is a better chance that they wont think wrong about it. "Theologians, clergy, scientists, and others belonging to many religious traditions have concluded that their religious views are compatible with evolution, and are even enhanced by the knowledge of nature that science provides." This quote is from the National Center for Science Education. There are a bunch of kids who think you can not believe science and have religious views, but if scientist can, why can't you?
• Commentary Two: If a child is taught all different types of religion, then they can make their own decision. If they are not, then they will grow up believing what people tell them, no matter what it is.
• Opposing Claim/They Say: Teaching religion in school would offend many people.
• My Rebuttal/ I Say: If you teach all different kinds of religion, then why would someone be upset? You are not trying to force your religion on them, you are simply trying to explain that there are others out there.
• Paragraph: Religion should be allowed in school. If religion were allowed in school, then many people would understand the world better, because right now, people do not. You could understand why certain people act the way they do, or why people believe differently. It would also give kids their own free choice, instead of growing up believing what they are told, they would believe what they wanted. Sure, some people might say some religion is offensive, but  not rightly so, because there would be more than on kind taught. We do not want to inundate people, but at the same time, they need to understand. So if people taught religion in school, everyone would be better off in the future.
• My Thinking: My thinking during all of this would probably be inductive. I think this because, while I would love to see religion in school, i do not believe it is very likely to happen.
