I fail to see how teaching one religion over any other would result in fewer school shootings. To my knowledge, none of the school shooters were from homes with any other religious background. Every one of the kids who have done this have said that they felt left out and harassed by the more popular students. They were made to feel less than equal because of some difference, whether in appearance, athletic ability, or other judgment that their fellow classmates cited as they harassed them. Respect has no religious symbol.
Respect is taught by every religion.
Until the schools put a stop to harassment, teach respect for others and self-responsiblity for actions, I expect there will be a lot more of these shootings. Religion, whatever religion, needs to be taught at home. Christ's message is best lived as example, not taught in a school, and the greatest lesson he taught was loving your neighbor. Obviously, Mr. Wileczek is either misinformed or just plain confused about rodeo. His letter contained many untruths about rodeo today.
