Religion in Public Schools, some just don't get it...

Why does this come up again and again, and again. it can not be spelled out more clearly. This should never make it to court in the first place, it is detrimental to our communities and waste valuable resources for the School.

I refer to this case.

However, this pops in the news over and over again. Though I can not say I was a great fan of Former President Clinton, he did do this

And he did say this "Nothing in the First Amendment converts our public schools into religion-free zones, or requires all religious expression to be left behind at the school house door." --President Clinton, July 12, 1995

However, before such a case ever reached the courts anyone could simply refer to the "Finding Common Ground: publication for clarity. Especially read Chapter 6:

14. May students express religious views in their assignments?
“Religious Expression in Public Schools,”
guidelines published by the U.S. Department of
Education, offers the following guidance about
religious expression in student assignments:
Students may express their beliefs about
religion in the form of homework, artwork,
and other written and oral assignments free of
discrimination based on the religious content
of their submissions. Such home and
classroom work should be judged by ordinary
academic standards of substance and relevance,
and against other legitimate pedagogical

Kind of a no brainier as the saying goes!

This is of a concern to me in that eventually my son may be heading to a public School, and he will now his rights and responsibilities. But why is that many teachers remain confused about it! Well I have my theories but will save them for now.

This issue will never go away, i have come to realize that. it will keep coming up for one reason and one reason alone. There is an "agenda" that most public Schools maintain, and has nothing to do with Christianity!

If you are a teacher reading this and do want real answers, read the pamphlet. It will teach you how to address religion in School.
