Dear Concerned Student. I'm not allowed in schools. -God"

This from a man hasn't set foot in a church since his youngest's christening, which was going on 10 years ago.

Isn't it blasphemy for Christians to think that people would be able to keep God out of schools?

No, I went to a very good private school in the 80s where there was religion in the classroom.

There were still two gun incidents; they involved shot guns, did not escalate and weren't reported in the media. The gun bringers were expelled. And, had brought guns in response to bullying. God in the classroom didn't stop the mean kids.

There are students in a school in FCPS that have no idea what are the Ten Commandments. This school has over 80% passing rate in the sols and 90% in History and Science classes...

Should teacher have guns to protect the students?

Troll score: 1.

No -- there is no God. And No.

Don't be such as ass.

Possible she read Peggy Noonan's asinine column in the WSJ today, which basically said if we could just return to Normal Rockwell America all would be good.

God wants us to have gun control. The ruling party of America-hating Russian lapdogs are ignoring His wishes. He will smite them all to hell, particularly Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell. It's warm where they are going. They have aided and abetted child killers.

+1 zillion.

Some of the bloodiest wars in human history were waged in the name of God; OP, go brush up on your history education.

This country needs better mental health and strict gun control. End of story.

If you want religion, go to church.

Absolutely not, and I say this as someone who sends my kids to Catholic school because I knew God, religion, faith, justice, etc. were aspects that I wanted my kids to have daily exposure to in their education. That’s why religious schools exist. It does NOT belong in the public school classroom. Who’s god would even be in the classroom, anyway? You know the people who propose this would have a fit if it were Allah, for example.

There is only one God and, as the minister PP said, He never left. But we left Him and are suffering the results on many levels.

Yes, I think there is nothing wrong with simple religious observance in public schools - the moment of silence that many schools still have, for example. Or, in ethics/ counseling classes, a discussion of where our general morals come from.

There is no God, pp. You can believe in magic all you want, but it doesn't change the facts.
