Students that attend public schools should learn about world religions because discrimination starts at a young age, it helps you understand current events and it plays a huge part in history. Teaching kids as young as 4 or 5 about world religions in simple terms will make them more open to different religions and people. Hopefully in doing so it will limit discrimination when they are older. When we teach something to kids, good or bad, they are heavy influenced by adults and remember certain things till they are older. If we teach them at a young age and set a good example for them we could potentially prevent future discrimination of religion, race and sexuality. They learn to be more open minded and accepting to all. Informing children about religions will help them in the future to better understand world events. Many positive and negative events are based on different religions or races. They will be educated to have more understanding of the points of views in the situation or just understand the situation as it is. Religion not only plays apart in today’s current events but also history which continues to influence today’s. If they know about religions think can fully understand the different components of history. Instead of saying just it was the Christians against the Jewish, they will fully understand each religion, the similarities, the differences and what they each want for each other. Most fights for land and wars were based on religion, race and region. In conclusion teaching world religions in public schools will help limit discrimination, help children understand current events and help them finally understand history.
