Messing with Religion

     I recently read an article in the L.A times that talked about how the Texas state board of education was planning to limit references to Islam in the history books. The author was arguing about how that was unjust because Texas is trying to make it look like Christianity is the one and only true religion. He also talked about how history books have been dumbed down and it’s no wonder why so many students are so uninterested in history. I agree with him because I also don't think that a type of religion is something that should be restricted from learning about. If someone wants to learn more about it then why not let them right? I believe that in modern times like these, the government should stop trying to censor what we learn. 

     We should start to educate ourselves more and more, so that we won’t have to keep repeating mistakes that we have done. If someone wants to learn about a subject then let them I mean we are free to express religion and the government should not try to make one superior. He makes a good claim about how students will need to be mature about these changes and deal with them in work in civic life. He backs that up by talking about Thomas Jefferson and how he talked of separation of church and state. Now the board of education wants to follow in his footsteps in a way. If we want to limit religion, then why not stop talking about it all together and let people start making their own decisions?
