This is a picture of my place of worship. I attend Sunrise Baptist Church. Yes, I am a Christian and I am proud of that. However, I do not force my beliefs or religion onto other people. More importantly, I could never look down upon or treat someone with an attitude of prejudice or discrimination just because they do not think, feel, or believe the same things as I do. It is simply just wrong. That is a major problem in America today; especially in our schools and education system. For one thing, just because someone is part of a certain faith doesn’t mean they know it all. Anderson says many important things in her piece The Misplaced Fear of Religion in Classrooms. A couple of them are that “Some parents feared that if their children learned about another religion, they might fall out of love with their own faith,” and “Just because a teacher is Jewish, Christian, or Muslim does not mean they are knowledgeable in that faith.” This is important to keep in mind. We all need to be aware of our biases and keep them buried. Ryan H
