Abstract | Religion has been taught in Romanian public schools since 1864, only discontinued during the communist regime. The decision of the Romanian Constitutional Court in November 2014, through which attending religion classes had to be confirmed through written request by parents or high school students aged 16 triggered fiery debates in the Romanian society. Two opposing entities were formed, one in favour of religion classes the other against it, each trying to convince the public about the righteousness of their own positions. The aim of this article is to analyse the degree of historical argumentation found in the ensuing debates. One could notice the predominance of historical arguments used by the proponents of religion classes, the most frequent explanation being that of the symbiosis between Romanian Orthodox Church and Nation. Consequently, the appeal to emotions was crucial in the dispute, the historical argument being one of the most appropriate persuasion techniques. (As Provided). |
