Teaching religion in the classroom
bressler color
I have been thinking about the GSU professor whose religious approach in class — if what I have read and heard is accurate and not just rhetoric — is at odds with our U.S. Constitution. There are plenty of ways to use intelligent discussion of religion to make a point, open some creative critical thinking and take advantage of a good liberal arts education. I have always believed that some of our theologians, like Augustine or Calvin, could really make an impact in sociology or economics without beating students over the head with Catholicism or Protestantism.
