Future educators must deal with different religious beliefs in the classroom. In public schools, laws support equal representation standards. Fraser gives the example of teaching creationism v. evolutionism. As a teacher one must be careful not to say what he or she feels is right or wrong, but state all facts from an un-biased point of view. The diversity of a classroom is such that a teacher might have four or five students with different religious beliefs in a room, making some activities complicated.
Teachers use laws to find a common ground for all students.
The right for all religions to have a moment of silence seems to be fair. If a teacher does not know what is legally acceptable, a great deal of hurt or conflict could rise in the classroom. James W. Fraser does not appear to take a stance on the role of religion in the public schools. He explains the role that history has played from a chronological standpoint of religion in schools. At times the United States has been more tolerant of religion in the public schools than at other times.
