2000 Invitations for religious talks have no place in classroom I want to respond to the heated letters about religious discussions at the University of Georgia. However, the contentious issue in these letters is the manner in which students and faculty are encouraged to come together to discuss religion and other ethical matters. The appropriate way to encourage these important discussions is through campus-wide announcements, but not in the classroom.
Students are neither stupid nor particularly naive.
I do not believe that a professor should use the privileged status of their classroom to promote the discussion. It only demeans the importance of the discussion. Ron Carroll send this story to a friend discuss this story email the editor opyright 2000 Athens Newspapers Inc.
