Religion in schools

What people are saying about religion in schools

Bobby Ramadu says: "Religion is an issue in general with certain people. All religions are good; they have good values, etc. Some religions do not connect to the correct values of what God wants. Everyone has freedom of religion and each individual has a choice to decide on their own. The only route I believe we can take is in the faith that I believe in being my saviour Jesus."

Themba Ndimande says: "It must stay in schools so that these kids are influenced correctly. During our days we went to assembly and prayed; now kids of today are either doing drugs and doing bad things such as satanistic rituals, etc."

A 24-year-old woman from Meyersdal says: “I don’t think religion in schools should not be implemented, because no matter how many times you try and force and instill religion onto children, they should still have their own choice. I feel that with a subject such as Life Orientation, where children can have a broad understanding of different religions, should help educate them on other religions so that that they know what is out there.”

An anonymous man from the South of Johannesburg says: “Religion should stay in school. It helps children grow and give them hope.”
