I'm surprised this article never garnered a response ... perhaps its simply a matter of what interests us. Being in a educational system I can see where the author is pushing for a higher state of consciousness with in the system ... I think bringing spirituality on board is worthwhile, but I can definitely see the problems that would arise.
However, saying it doesn't belong in the public schools is not true either... its already there. Teachers who teacher christian easter & christmas storys, teachers who feel halloween is 'devil worship' and students who refuse to stand during a national anthem because it contains the word 'god' All of these things exist in our 'non-religious' school. I feel that if this ideal could be crafted then it would be a grand thing. Unfortunately in todays society I don't see it coming to pass it really IS an us vs. them society. And what unbiased party would set up the guidelines to revolutionize our concept of 'education'?
I like the comments the author makes regarding racism, I really feel that is something that should be introduced... we are of the same human race, its our cultures that differeniate us. Exploring and celebrating the diversity of humanity through culture, removes the issue of colour .... something many people would do well to learn.
Anyone have any feedback on this one?
