mostly. i am christian and would like for a curriculum be offered that discussed the various religions, and the creation as another theory, along with evolution.
that said: i do not want a religion that does not agree with my belief, taught to my children. i want to be the one to guide them spiritually, along with my church.
i do want there to be an opportunity for an after-school club where children can meet to discuss their belief and why the believe what they do.
i find it agonizing that we MUST support so many clubs that are offensive to a religious belief, but we are unable (in many schools) to have that same privilege.
separation of church and state was not meant to keep religion out of the country, or the public place. it was meant to keep the state from forming an "official" church, and infringing on the rights of those who do not want to follow the "official" belief.

Not completely. The laws governing religious expression in school are governed state-by-state despite the Ammendment prohibiting it being federal. the vagueness of the wording of these laws leaves a great deal of room for teachers to prostylize without consequence. We should take the seperation of church and state as seriously as we take freedom of Religion. Our schools only have a short time of our children's day to provide them with the education that will need to carry them through life. It's not necesarry for children to pray at school, nor is it a school's business to teach something that the majority of American's find offensive.

No. I am angry over the brainwashing inspired by the moralityphobed and atheist also. Kids are being taught that homosexuals should be able to marry.
Students don't learn the evidents that disproves evolution such as Lucy was proven to be a fake, there is problems with Carbon dating, etc.
It is a shame when the wall of separation of church and state was never part of our constitution. It was only a quote taken out of context written to the Danberry Baptist.

I think that evolution should be taught but mythologies should be mentioned. Why? So christians will stop whinning about how they are so persecuted and complaining about how they can't dothis or that in school.
I feel that if you want to be crazy and talk to yourself, then go right ahead. No one has the right to stop you, but once you stop preaching to others who do not wish to be preached to then you have crossed a line. THIS is the real issue. People don't want to hear your craziness. If you could have just acted like you weren't crazy and used logic in picking those that you preached to then this never would have happened.

not really. i was sitting in my english class and out of no where the entire lecture turned in to this huge religous talk. Dont get me wrong im catholic and respect all religions its just that i didnt get much out of my lecture but a headache and a confused reaction to what i had to write about. im not condeming any religion nor stating ones better than another i just think it should stay out of school in respect for those who dont believe in a religion

Absolutely not. Why can Congress and the Supreme Court begin a session with a prayer, but you can't mention God during graduation or have a Baccalaureate service? Seems hypocritical to me.

No, it is criminal to teach the THEORY of evolution as fact and not even offer the alternative of intelligent design, both are viable theories whether you like it or not, it goes to show the stigma Christianity has to endure.

Christ yes! Religion has NO PLACE in schools!
Evolution is science, intelligent design is religion!

sure. they don't really do anything other then say don't make kids pray in public schools. you can still be religous in school, they even hav religion classes in school, they just can't make you do something against your religion in school.
