I don't believe only 1 religion should be taught. I believe comprehensive classes should be taught so people have an understanding of the similarities and differences of various religions. Something more along the lines of history. The classes are optional in public school but required in the...

None. Then again, it was the early 90s and the Internet had just barely made an entrance into our lives and as an "older" student, I wasn't at all familiar with computers.
