It’s not about the school administration *preaching Christ*.

It’s about allowing freedom of worship and allowing a prayer at the graduation ceremony as had been done for decades.

If you try to separate God from our lives and education, you get the mess we’re in now. SOMETHING is going to move in to fill the vacuum.

There are several problems with your line of thinking. First off, the whole public education thing we have going on here is a contrivance of the government. Government should not be in the business of education. Control of schools should be at the local lever as was done for centuries.

Second, the Founding Fathers had no problem with prayer and Bible reading in schools as was done until the fairly recent past. It was part of *public* education until the government stepped in and removed it. Education was never inherently Godless.

You’re acting as if a God free education is a neutral position. It’s not. There can be no neutral with then are only two sides to an issue. There’s eight God or there’s not God.

And the Constitution guarantees freedom of religion, not freedom FROM religion. I don’t know whose side you’re on in this debate, but it doesn’t appear to be God’s or Christian’s.

There’s either God or there’s not God.
