Blogs Purpose

There are several reasons for the purpose of our blog. Instead of making a video and having to sum up our purpose about Religion in Public Schools in about a 5 minute time span we have made this blog, one so we can put up articles that relate to our topic and our viewers can read further into the topic and get an idea with what the issue is. A second reason is so we can express why teaching religion in public schools is important to us and to other people nationwide. A third reason is so people can post on our blog and give us their feedback and opinion on whether or not teaching religion in public schools is a good idea. And lastly, the blog is made because it is a good way of organizing thoughts and ideas and there is a variety of sources on the blog so people can chose what they want to read, watch, or look at.

Enjoy and don't forget to COMMENT,
