Religious education in Australian primary schools should educate children about all religions.

During his second round, my opponent clarified that he was not "not saying that schools should implement religious education, I'm saying that in schools that already have it..." {1} I completely agree with this stance. My opponent also stated that theses schools should not force the kids to abide by Christian believes but to teach them the definition of religion and its effect on society as a whole. While I agree with debating on this parameters to some extent, I would like to point out that this was not made clear in my opponents first round nor was it worded in the resolution; therefore, I will be arguing the following resolution: "Religious education in Australian primary schools should educate children about ALL religions." With this said....... Contention one: They are not obligated to~~~ Australia being a free market country, allows its citizens as well as business men and women to exercise certain liberty in managing there business. {2} Following the definition's provided in the first round, we can clearly see that the combination of the words "should" and "school," makes this resolution itself flawed. The use of the word "should" completely conflicts with the idea of the liberty to control and manage there own business. We musty also look into the fact that the school of choice is not a public school, but a private school. Affirming this resolution will be equivalent to completely destroy the free market ideals in Australia as business men and women are unable to carry out what ever dream of vision they might have for there business. Contention two: They do not have enough resources~~~ Ones again, we are forced to look at the definition provided within the round. by using the word "all," my opponent is essentially saying that all types of religion be thought in a primary school. Despite the fact that this is completely impossible, we must also take into account that there simply isn't enough resources to accomodate these changes. There are over 20 major religion in the world {3}, thousands if not millions of small religions residing in a certain area nad not to mention that there are over 30,000 Christian faith structures {4}. With this said it is literally impossible to teach all these religions in a primary school let alone find teachers qualified enough to teach these religions. By stating "all", my opponent is now implying, that if the school fails to teach all religion in the world, then it does not fit the standards of this debate. Due to the fact that it is literally impossible to teach every religion in the world, my opponent automatically looses this debate. Contention three: They cannot force religion on a child/ detrimental to learning process When looking into this contention, We must realize that these parents who send there children to religious institute, do it for the reason that they appreciate and want it for there Kids. There are several private schools with exceptional reputation who focus less on religion and more on academic progress. These schools create an option for parents who do not believe in religious or rather does not want there kids to attend religious schools. Saying that all religious schools should teach all religion is simply forcing several religion on students. We must also take in context that teaching these Kids multiple religion will be detrimental to the primary school student whose only capable of learning through a far smaller pace than high schoolers. The fact is that since this is based on kids ranging from 5-12, the best option is to allow for the schools to choose which religions to teach and how they can effectively teach without straining there already strained resources. In conclusion, affirming this resolution is striping both business men and women, parents, as well as children of there rights to free choice. Not to mention that it is impossible to complete through to several denotation problems.
