I answered a question recently about prejudice that I think will explain why God should never be allowed inside a school again:

I am old enough to remember prayer in schools. Every morning the PA system would announce that it was the time to pray. All students were required to stand up, bow their heads, and clasp their hands in front of them. They said a semi-nondemonational prayer that would always end with "in Jesus' name, amen". Well I am Jewish. Jesus does not enter my faith. So when the prayer was read. I would remain seated and put my head down on my desk. (As a side note, my father was an Air Force Officer and we moved around a lot). In every school I went to or every new teacher I had, immediately after prayer I would be carried off to the principal's office. Then, I would be expelled because I would not agree to their rules. I would call my dad, who had to drop everything at work and come to the school. The principal said it was the law and I had to follow it. Dad would point out that since I was an Air Force Brat the local taxpayers did not pay for my education, the Federal Government did. The Feds outruled the State. They still would not bend. So my dad would call the base commander. He would go to the school board and threaten to build schools on the base and pull all that government money out of the school system. That is when they would give in. I was allowed to stand in the hall while all the other students prayed the prayer ending with "in Jesus' name amen". I stuck out like a sore thumb. I was a ridiculed 1st ,2nd, and 3rd grader who was laughed at because I would not pray to Jesus. That my friend is predijuce.

I have run into the same thing in different ways for my 60 years of life. Now I just shake my head and walk away. But it still hurts today like it did 53 years ago. Bigotry is the worst sin there is. It is not even mentioned in the Bible. People hate because of ignorance. I try as hard as I can to see the other side. I am very proud of who and what I am. I am a strong believer in my faith. I hope you are in yours.

God has created, is running, and will destroy the Universe. God is the Origin and Destination of the Universe. God was, is, will be everywhere, God was never Created and will never die / be destroyed. God is beyond Life and Death. All religions of world teach human way to get close to God. You give your Best, God will give thy Best. Ask God for help and forgive, God will help and forgive you. Pray; Worship and Thank God for everything. Remember wherever there is Happiness in Life, there will be Sorrow. To get Happiness, you must master Sorrow. For Success in Life; Believe in Self and God, Learn from Past, Concentrate in Present, Plan for Future. Have control on, be the master of, not the slave of your body, senses, and mind. Purpose of this Life is to Gain and Share utmost Knowledge and Experience to differentiate and choose Right, Good, God against Wrong, Bad, Devil. Set your Desire level perfect or OK to be brave, no low to be coward, no high to be cruel. You have rights of Survival, Self Defence, and Freedom.

God is in the hearts of all who love Him. They go to school. God goes to school. Just because you don't hear Him, doesn't mean He's not there. No one can take God from us, no matter how hard you try. You cannot pluck us from His hand!

The almighty God can not do 3 things :
1) He can not sin.
2) He can not do illogical things, say, He can't create a rock He Himself can't lift.
3) He can't interfere with our free will, say, if you wanted to kick God out of your school, He could do nothing about it. We have free will b/c He loves us.

You are showing your stupidity to God by the way of your question. Why kick God. You have no respect to God. If you do not believe God leave it to your mind. Do not attend religious teachings if it is your desire. You have no right to say things against God. You are only human who was a procreation by God. Understand?

No one can kick God out of anywhere.

The Bible is not God.

Prayer is not God.

God is anywhere He choose to be. He lives in His people who pray to Him anywhere they need to.

So, God is all powerful and dwells in the hearts of His people. The earth and everything in it is His. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills.

May He have mercy and reveal Himself to you.

There will never be a time when America will be able to stop Christians from praying in school, so God won't be gone. I don't have to pray out loud for God to hear me. A whispered prayed, a prayer that is thought.....Sorry, honey, they may THINK they have, but it will never be stopped.

Yes it would... the Israelites ignored God too and for their rebellion got Jerusalem burned down and sent into captivity in Babylon. We can already see the fruits of this action like the increases in child suicides, school violence, sexual transmitted disease and drug use etc.
