Religion

In the article that I read it talked about 6th grade classes in Texas to remove the words Christmas and Rosh Hashanah from their curriculum and put in Hindu religious words. I think that they should keep all the old names and add the new ones so all of the young kids get more knowledge about the world around them. The more educated we are about other religions and things the more we can be compatible with all of those other people in the world. But if we limit what we teach to our kids and learn about religion our ideas might get skewed to the wrong place. Many people do not even know that there are other religions other than the one that they are. There are so many things that separate us in the world that I think the more we learn about other religions the less that will separate us and the more we can realize how close we are to each other. I think that it would be a terrible idea for the state of Texas to do this because it will just cause unwanted violence and arguments that could have been prevented before hand.
