Right! ... Then Why is in prohibited for students to speak of God either in homework/assignment or in class?

It is a persons expressed belief, spoken of as we do with or about our daily life with friends, and as an expression of our belief. Just like politics, some are liberal, some or conservative, some or libertarians, and some ignore the whole thing.

We are free to express our opinion, including our faith. Yet it is being suppressed at school and as recently ... the well accomplished naval Chaplin,counselor that is possibly being drummed our of his career for mentioning to one seeking advice, that he was settled by his faith in Christ/God. How is it wrong for him to express what serves and supports him?a

There are two problems here:

1) Schools
-—The government should get out of the education business. It is impossible to have a religiously, politically, and culturally neutral education. Those with the most political clout get to impose their worldview on the **captive** audience. We should begin to the process of privatizing the delivery of education.

-— And....It is already happening. Atheists, pagans, satanists, Islamists are bringing their beliefs into the compulsory government schools and subjecting curious **captive** children to their worldview.

...The best way to combat the growth of paganism and atheism is to rear up children into adults who understand and can defend their Judeo-Christian beliefs and our founding principles. Putting children in godless schools is a good way to teach them to think godlessly but NOT a good way to rear them in their faith.

2) Generally
We are dangerously close to a time when simply being a Christian is a hate crime that will come with loss of employment and shunning. Christian will not be permitted to participate in our nation's major cultural institutions. It is already happening.

The best way to confront this is to rear up righteous children into adulthood who can defend and promote their faith and our nation's founding principles.
