Fostul purtător de cuvânt al BOR, profesorul Vasile Bănescu: Catedra de Religie din școală NU este amvon și nici microfon pastoral

Vasile Bănescu emphasizes that religious education in schools should focus on knowledge rather than indoctrination. He argues that the role of religion classes is to inform students about cultural and historical aspects of religion, not to promote specific beliefs. Bănescu highlights the importance of teaching religion in a credible and culturally relevant manner, while also addressing contemporary issues related to faith. He believes that the church's teachings should not overshadow the educational purpose of schools, and that religious education should foster understanding rather than conflict. The new evaluation standards for religion classes are also under discussion, which include assessing students' participation in religious services.
