Is religion a part of school?

In San Diego, Tyler Chase Harper was suspended from school for wearing a shirt that stated, "Homosexuallity is shameful." Because of this, Harper filed a law suit against the school district saying that they were in violation of his first amendment rights of freedom of speech. This action taken by Harper was a result of a bible passage that stuck out to him and he believes that because of it, " homosexual behavior is immoral, damagin to the practitioners and to human scoiety in general, and is demonstrably contrary to the teachings of the bible," which was written in Romans 1:27. Religion is aa very influential part of each and every one of our lives, and should be a part of school. It is important for each of us to know the teachings of different religions and to learn the backrounds of religions. This information is important and can help bring some people guidance they have been looking for all their life. Also, the school place is a marketplace of ideas where students can challenge themsleves and think critically about which ideas and beliefs hold true to them. By wearing his t-shirt, i believe that Mr. Harper helped bring an idea into the very active marketplace of ideas even though his words may offed others. It is important to bring vulgar ideas to the surface to question what is truly right because, "one man's vulgarity is another's lyric," and without the opposing side, choices are biased and made rationally. It is very important to have religion in school and to be learned about.
