At school today, we were discussing the French Revolution in History class. The teacher was talking about how back then 97 % of French people were Catholic and they stuck firmly to tradition. We then started contrasting that to these times.
Then out of the blue he asked how many people believed in a Christian God. Not one person put their hand up. I didn't at first because I was embarassed, but then I did. I was the only one.
Later I was thinking.. I'm not sure it was right for my teacher to ask this. Is there any sets of rules on this type of thing? Like are teachers not meant to discuss issues like religion, politics, etc? I'm usually pretty closed-up about this kind of thing.
It really bothers me when I think about it, because I don't see why it was necessary. I graduate high school in a few months and was thinking of saying something to him at the end of the year. So, can someone let me know their opinion on this? Was it wrong for him to ask this?
Thanks.
He is a teacher and he is supposed to teach kids that there are no differences between people with different religions but still he is a teacher and he can ask whatever he wants. If it helps my history religion teacher said that all people not muslims are going to hell and i felt like slapping him but then i though well who cares about him i know thats not true and i know he shouldnt have said that because he should be teaching us that all people are equal and stuff like that. But dont let it bother you so much maybe he just didnt want to hurt anyones feelings.
