This is easy to say if the religion being promulgated in the school is yours. However, there is more than one religion willing to proselytize in the schools, and some go to lengths to do so without parental knowledge or approval.
How would you feel if a teacher were handing out Korans?
This being said, there are two sides to secularism. The good side is neutrality, where there is an agreement among the religious that children of one religion should not be taught religion by teachers of another religion, because they are a captive audience, by law, and subject to inappropriate influence.
The other side of secularism is the anti-religious side, that can be just as obnoxious in its proselytizing, attempting to sway children away from not just their religion, but to reject any religion. This is anything but neutral, but pretends to be.
In any event, for many years now, public schools have been forced into a state of neutrality. And still, where one particular religion dominates a school, there is almost a guarantee that students not of that religion will be in many ways leaned on by teachers and other students. And at the same time, there is always a continual pressure to be anti-religious as well.
So ignore neutrality at your own risk. As beneficial as the effect you are certain your faith would provide, there are other faiths just as determined to exploit an opening in schools as well.
The Scripture is God-breathed, not from the mind of murdering pedophile like Mohammed.
The Bible has shown for centuries how to elevate man, not debase him, like the Koran does. No comparison.
Western Civ is based on the Bible. All children from all religions who come to the West better understand that. Korans? Not of Western Civ. Not ok.
Did you read the facts of this case? The teacher told the student “the first shall be last and the last shall be first” because the student was lagging behind coming into school. The student asked where that saying came from and the teacher said the New Testament in the Bible. The student told the teacher he did not have a Bible and the teacher asked if he wanted one, the student said yes and the teacher gave him his pocket New Testament, the student said thanks and that was it.
How is that “promulgating” religion?
I am sick to death of tiptoeing around to not “offend” someone. I am very deeply offended that this country is forcing God out of everywhere and I will do whatever I possibly can to stop it!
No one has to accept Christianity or agree with my rights, but you cannot take my rights away from me or my family!
