“Public schools have no reason to teach religion “
In the ‘50s and ‘60s, our schools in NYS didn’t TEACH religion, but we sang hymns in Music class. There was a morning prayer over the PA system. We could go to church on Friday afternoons. For “religious instruction”.
People may not like religion in school, but the country was a better place when there was strong focus on it. The less religion, the less civilized and decent people there are.
I can't agree more; however, this can never sponsored by the government because that clearly violates the Constitution. That separation was for very good reasons, which should be obvious to anyone who studied history up to the colonization of America. Look at the bloodshed in England alone. The Founders KNEW religion is a private matter and not a public matter.
Please concentrate your efforts toward returning parents to the church and taking responsibility for the Spiritual welfare of their children. DO NOT place that into the hands of people you do not know and have already earned your distrust. I am quite sure that I would not want my children's religious views tainted even by other denominations allegedly of the Christian Faith, let alone a Muslim.
