“RELIGION,” a sheet from English class, handed out to eighth-graders, is provocatively titled. The typewritten paper presents some 20 quotes that can be described as anti-God, coming from philosophers from Kierkegaard to Schopenhauer. Even a “Yiddish proverb.”
“Religion is a disease, but a noble disease,” reads the first quote, attributed to Heraclitus.
“Religion is the masterpiece of the art of animal training, for it trains people as to how they will think,” reads one by Schopenhauer.
Another sheet, titled “GOD,” asks kids to ponder whether religion should be treated as poetry — neither true nor false.
Angry parents want to know: What the devil does this have to do with middle-school English? [...]
Once, schools taught kids to read, write and think. Now, educators use personal bias to preach what to think. The list keeps growing.

Kierkegaard was devoutly religious - I wonder what quote of his they used.
I wonder if the school would entertain questioning the validity of colectivism? Man, I get the feeling NY really doesn’t like the idea of individuals, spirituality, or the concept of something bigger than itself? Just sayin.
Pathetic!!
I thought this was against the law to talk about religion to school children..or is it just when you down people that it is alight..
Yeah I would say that Muslim religion is a disease..They produce robots

So much for diversity!
Kierkegaard while personally religious was also hyper-individualistic, and very anti-organized religion...
LOL!
Since when have the New York public schools taught anybody anything.
They’re almost as bad as our schools in Chicago.
This begins in the education departments at state universities.
I hate those guys.
“I hate those guys.”
Dean Vernon Wormer, is that you?
New York is a figment of a diseased mind!
.
I'm not sure he was anti-organized religion so much as he was against the Danish state Lutheran Church. And while he was individualistic he certainly believed that religious absolutes existed outside the individual, he just didn't think one could discover them via reason, thus the "blind leap of faith".
Including Islam?.....
How about Rev’rum Wright and his fatassed followers in the black racist church in Chi-town? (as well as one skinny one living in DC these days?)

Probably some Kierkegaard quote about how religion is irrational. As if Reason is a god. These folks need to read their Kant.
As for Heraclius, will the public school teach that he absolutely destroyed the Sassinid Persian empire, and was one of the more successful Byzantine emperors?
