Verna Young Verna Young 3 hrs · Edited · I had a dream, not copying anyone, but a true dream. I had just woken from it moments ago. I was observing a classroom. At this time, the teacher was teaching religion. I do not mean mythology, but the actual religion. Read more ... This week was Gaia. She was teaching it as that week, the children had to live as if they were Gaia's followers. As each week or so she taught a different religion, not the way people thought of that religion, but as if she knew each religion in its purest form. My heart swelled as I observed. The children were allowed to ask question, and sometimes she would ask them what they thought Gaia would have thought. Even when she taught Christianity, it wasn't the dogma it is today, but was actually as the name states. Followers of Christ, so that all the teachings were about Christ and what he stood for. That was how she handled EVERY religion, at its purest form. I was becoming afraid for this teacher, afraid of what could happen to such a wonderful teacher, so I went to seek legal advice without giving any information I didn't have to. So, I had to climb these long steps up to ask an attorney. I asked him if I could speak to him in private, and everyone left but one woman that was on the computer. I looked at her, and he said, "you too" she was frustrated to leave her computer but got up and left. As soon as she left, he told me, I can't take any more cases until April. I told him, that wasn't an issue. ( as I didn't want to sue the teacher, but to protect her) I started off, with a question. "When it is illegal to teach religion in schools, did that just mean the Christian Religion or did it mean all religions" I woke up before he answered, but was fresh, in my mind, my intent was to fight that the schools must teach all religions like this teacher was doing. Having the children actually live it. So that they would know and understand all religions, that it would get rid of the astigmatism of religions, and the hatred of religions that they didn't know. So this was and is my dream.
