Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:

- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

One morereason to like the fact France dont have any lesson on religion in its schools. (But let's be honest, there is also a aweful lot to dislike in our schools.)
It's illegal to teach religion in US schools unless it's specifically a class about religion. Which typically happens only in college
Maybe it's because I'm in the deep south, but my high school had old testament & new testament classes when I attended.
That's technically allowed as long as they are either extra curricular or electives
It was an elective for me in the very far north, too. I took "Bible as Literature" where it was just like any other English class.
Kids should be taught about religion, because religion is an important part of society.
Notice I said taught about, not taught. They shouldn't be taught that any religion is true, just that "Here's a popular religion, and here's what these people believe."
Good teachers do it, both in history and french class, but that’s often an overlooked part of the teaching plan. In part because our government ask teachers to teach more and more things a year, and no days are added to said year. (The teaching about religion, I mean. Teaching religion is still illegal in public schools, and must be optional in privates ones.)
Also, the "peoples" who govern us might prefer us ignorant of those things. (And many other, to be honest.)
