Religion in School
Must Religion Be Completely Excluded From Schools? Yes according to the Supreme Court ruling of Lemon vs. Kurtzman, religion must be excluded from the nation's public schools. On June 28, 1973, the Supreme Court mandated that all education was to be divided into secular and sacred. By this act in conjunction with the 1963 Abington Township Case separation of church and state, prayer and bible reading has been taken out of public schools. Religion and school go hand-in-hand, taking it out of schools is causing irreparable damage to our kids and the future of America, by taking away their foundation of morals. What began in the 1960's as taking state mandated prayer out of schools became in the 1970's taking religion out of schools with the ruling of Lemon vs. Kurtzman. The impact that this ruling makes upon the schools of our great nation can't be measured. For proof, simply catch a 5:30 news segment on your local TV station. Three kids have been killed on or in school grounds during the past week!
dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion, and morality are indispensable supports." Religion and education cannot be separated. In today's society, there are even more pressures on kids than what they used to have. Pressures like: guns, alcohol, illegal drugs, and sex to name just a few, have become entrenched in the hearts and minds of our families. The more options, like prayer you take away from kids, the more headlines you are going to see. We leave them with no choice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am convinced that the battle for our kids' future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the doors for which our kids must pass through. These teachers must embody the same dedication as the most rabid preachers, for they will be ministers of another kind, utilizing a classroom instead of a pulpit to convey values in whatever subject they teach, regardless of the education level: preschool day care or large state university.
