Because of our sacred regard for each human intellect, we consider the obtaining of an education to be a religious responsibility.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Religion is the solid basis of good morals; therefore education should teach the precepts of religion, and the duties of man toward God.
The purpose of education is to make good human beings with skill and expertise... Enlightened human beings can be created by teachers.
True education is concerned not only with practical goals but also with values. Our aims assure us of our material life, our values make possible our spiritual life.
A good education is that which prepares us for our future sphere of action and makes us contented with that situation in life in which God, in his infinite mercy, has seen fit to place us, to be perfectly resigned to our lot in life, whatever it may be.
I confess that for fifteen years my efforts in education, and my hopes of success in establishing a system of national education, have always been associated with the idea of coupling the education of this country with the religious communities which exist.
But instead of standing up for reason, our government is handing education over to the world of faith.
That children shall be compelled to receive religious instruction which is in antagonism to the wishes of their parents, is what no man with say sense of justice would suggest.
Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.
If we have to give up either religion or education, we should give up education.
Education should be totally secular. I am not telling people not to believe in God, but it should be a personal matter which should be done at home.
