Religion

Which was a true religious history course that studied the history of the big three religions. I am not against courses like that. Key is history. It was not a bible thumping course.

In college I also took a history course that studied the Crusades from the Islamic perspective.

All of those courses were eye opening for me- I was already questioning things I had been taught growing up in a Christian family -

By this time I had already taken other history classes and learned about the Persian Empire,Cyrus the Great, Darius and Zoroastrianism , The Greeks and Horus and their other Gods

I was the first in my family to go to college by the way so you can imagine what it was like to go home with my new found knowledge.

LOL!, yeah I learned quickly to just shut up and keep my thoughts to myself.

Somehow - I doubt that the way my college professors delivered those courses - will be the way these kids will get these religious courses.

All the religious and history courses I took in college were all elective courses. If you ask me, they should all be mandatory. Including more African History courses. Then maybe, just maybe, we would not have 1/3 of our nation be such idiots/bigots.

To date - The course I took about the Crusades thru the eyes of Arabs was one the best classes I took in college. Up until then, all I had ever heard was the Eurocentric version of the Crusades.
