This isn't an issue of separation. This is and issue of "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". When Christian prayers are scheduled inside school time along with a Devotional, the school as a government entity, is promoting a specific religion. There are students of diverse Faiths in a public school. A government entity is not allowed to promote one over the other.
What would each of you do if your children were required to face Mecca and pray while in school? The "free exercise thereof" clause should enable a Muslim teacher to do just that during that devotional time.
It strikes me as unusual that you very people complain about the quality of education on one hand, and then cry out for yet another time period in the school that is unrelated to its proper subject matter. I think you are abdicating your Evangelism responsibilities to the schools with which you have already voiced dissatisfaction.
Religious instruction belongs in the home and in the church of choice. The "of choice" that is denied when conducted in a school. Perhaps you feel that a public school can do a better job than you in raising your children.
You mean when the founders wrote the Constitution to mean that Congress will make no law respecting establishment of the Methodist denomination, for example, or prohibiting the free exercise of the Presbyterian?
“What would each of you do if your children were required to face Mecca and pray while in school?”
This won’t happen because we’re a Christian nation. Wars will be fought and the usurpers defeated long before it ever gets to such an absurdity.
As for the comments in your second to last paragraph, they’re not directed to me. Rather, you’re speaking to some imaginary version of what you think a Christian is. These silly and sophomoric stereotypes come directly from Hollywood productions, and other sources feigning reliability, for the most part written and produced by similarly low IQ thinking.
Meanwhile, it’s good to note that instructing Bible verses in school is not equivalent to teaching the Koran. The Bible is objectively true, while all other religions are false. As I like to say, believe what you want but make sure you believe the truth. Withholding the teaching of the truth represents the only denial of choice in this matter.
