Question

Why do public schools, which are secular, emphasize values such as civic responsibility, trustworthiness, fairness, and respect, which
religious teachings also emphasize?
O Public schools are secular in some ways, but not when it comes to their values.
O The schools have appropriated these values without giving religion credit for them.
The terms "secular" and "religious" are nearly synonyms
These values are secular as well; religious and secular value frameworks share some important commonalities.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. The schools have appropriated these values without giving religion credit for them.

Explanation

In recent years, the secular conception of civic and human values has gained relevance in society. Therefore, these values have been adopted in public schools, which teach them to their students as values of life and society without any religious inclination because these are not exclusive values of it, but are values that concern the society in general and allow communities to be more supportive, respectful, fair, free, among others. Therefore, the correct answer is B. The schools have appropriated these values without giving religion credit for them.
