Public events, public employment, that sort of thing.Then what on the gravitationally bound ball of rock that is the Earth, are you talking about by "public square"?
There are appropriate conversation topics, sure. But personal disclosure isn't something that should be off limits, provided it doesn't completely derail the lesson. That religion is somehow treated as a third rail is exactly part of the problem, because open polite discussion of such matters seems necessary for a pluralistic society to develop consideration for diversity of belief. Requiring it to be a secretive endeavor in no way seems reasonable to me.There are appropriate and non-appropriate questions and ways to reply to any inquries. Questions about a teacher or students religion would seem to lie in the non-appropriate category. (If they asked about your sex life it certainly would be a question you could shut down with some sort of "that's not appropriate for discussion in class" response.)
Ah, I misunderstood. What benefit is such a form supposed to produce that isn't already covered by current oversite practices?I said nothing about taxing churches. Form 990 is filed by non-profits detaining their income and expenses and officers. It is filed by organizations that *don't* pay taxes.
