Answer 1

From one of my previous question, I was told that a Christain science teacher CAN legally teach Creationism if he/she so desires. Let ;me go to the question, find that part of the answer, copy and paste below.

Did you know that it is perfectly legal to teach creation in a public school? 150 years ago, that is all that was taught in public schools. In the early 1900's, there began to be laws that forbade the teaching of evolution, like the Tennesseee law that was challenged at the Scopes Monkey Trial. By 1968, the last law banning the teaching of evolution was overturned. However, there has NEVER been a law to outlaw teaching of creation! Teachers are still free to teach it if they want to. However, schools cannot FORCE teachers to teach creation for "equal time". (See the Louisiana law.)
My beef is, if teachers cannot be "forced" to teach creation, then they should not be "forced" to teach evolution, either, since they are both religious in nature. It's just a secular religion.

I thought that ANY teaching of creationism in public schools in USA was unconstitutional (within recent times). I didn't know that I can legally do this if I so desire."

Answer 2

Teachers, as well as others Working in a public school, can not promote one religion over the other.

http://ffrf.org/nontracts/schoolprayer.php

website discusses the issue.

All children can carry a Bible if they wish. They can have clubs and public prayers. What was taken out was sanctioned prayer which forced all to pray the same thing to the same God. Teachers are allowed to discuss a religion as it relates to the subject they are teaching (mainly History classes touch on this subject). A math teacher can't suddenly tell his class they are going to read the Bible (or any other Holy Text) or tell his class only one religion is correct.

As for it being in law format, you are only going to find the basics I have laid out here. As for having issues which are not shown, or ones that are unique, each school determines how to handle the situation. Most of the time the teacher is simply warned and it doesn't happen again. I've only seen very few cases where a teacher has lost his/her job and it's usually because they are refuse to obey the rules and continue to try to push their personal religion on children. But like I said, it's very few cases.

Only the Religious Right claims ALL of those things have been taken out of school. They are the only one's who claim "God was taken out of school" as if because the teachers aren't constantly pounding the religion into the kids, they won't believe it.

Answer 3

Read the bible? Yes

Have Clubs? Yes

Public Prayers? Yes, providing participation is voluntary.

They aren't allowed to infringe on anyone else's right to practice THEIR religion (or lack thereof).

They aren't allowed to engage in religious behaviour that disrupts classes.

They aren't allow to persistently prosyletize.

As far as teachers go, they aren't allowed to teach or promote religion either in the classroom, or as a representative of the school outside the classroom.

I'm sure there's more, but that covers the basics.

Answer 4

You aren't allowed to interrupt class time to promote any religious beliefs, or make people join you in prayer. That's pretty much it. Clubs are allowed, bible reading not during class time, public prayer that isn't structured so that people feel like you're pressuring them to join you.

Answer 5

because of the fact re-arranging what they declare they won't be able to do feeds their martyr complicated. in addition they say they won't be able to take their bible to college, yet absolutely everyone who desires to can carry any of their own books to college to apply of their very own time, as long as that factor would not conflict with their college or classification time. legislations in common terms dictates that mandatory prayer has been outlawed. Open prayer (if it truly is frowned on or not allowed) isn't legislated, its in basic terms coverage via the guy college. absolutely everyone (be they satanist, buddhist, christian, jew, muslim, and so on.) can pray privatly at any time, including for the duration of classification. Prayer earlier a soccer game, or a school assembly is considered mandatory, becasue the persons who're attending the form have paid to verify the sport, not take part in a particular religious prayer, plus, because of the fact there are pupils that are in the band and on the team that is of distinctive thought, and are obligated to attend, it is not considered a "public" adventure such because of the fact the long island Yankees or the Seattle seahawks video games are.

Answer 6

It must essentially be separate. This is what the constitution says the rest is just interpretation that routinely goes to the supreme court.
Teachers are unable to proselytize their students but if my teacher mentions religion in a favourable way I will report them and they can get fired.
Any rights they do have they don't deserve. It goes against reason.

Answer 7

Talk to the head of the school to see what is and isn't allowed, if you want something just off the top of my head, I know prayer is not allowed, but other than that I am not sure. You know, the way the social system has infected our school system, I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't have any sort of religious related activity in your school.

Answer 8

I can't give you a "law" explanation, but I can give you a logical explanation. It's because NOT EVERYONE IS CHRISTIAN. There's quite a few Christians that need to get it through their heads that people belong to different religions than them (or none at all), and they need to learn to accept them.

Answer 9

i want christians to have clubs,public prayer and read the bible in school. that way the buddhists,hindus,jews, muslims,wiccans, pagans and satanists etc can do the same.And thats why christians can't do those things in school because then your classmates might get exposed to other religions and christianity doesn't want that

Answer 10

Christians can do anything they want in school except for forcing others to pray, or otherwise worship, with them. I think this also applies to teachers.
