Should we being back God to the classroom?

[Anonymous]

Which God? The OT God? That sets a great example for the kids.

What people do at home, place of worship, private religious schools is none my business. But keep religion out of public schools.

We don't have God or prayers in the schools here in Canada. We don't have school shootings.

It's the guns.

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.

As long as there are easily available assault rifles, putting God back into public schools will not do anything.

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.

You don’t have to go to church to be a Christian or a believer

Yes, we absolutely should. And then, Inshallah, these terrible things would not occur. We should institute sharia in our madrassas, and encourage students to submit to Allah.

See how that sounds when another religion says it?

Absolutely not.
The hateful discriminatory awful crap that religious people do in the name of ‘god’ should not be brought anywhere near the educational system.

LOL! Nice try. If you were actually from Canada, you’d know you DO have God in the public schools. Publicly funded Catholic schools and all...

Attempt at humor?

The Pledge of Allegiance is said every day.

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.

You are a f*cking idiot.

+1 and parents need to step up and parent and monitor their kids. The last shooting this kid had serious mental health issues. He was living with a friend's family who allowed him to keep a gun in the house and didn't monitor it or him.

If there was a God, in my mind, these things wouldn't be happening.

Whose God do you bring into the classroom?

If these kids are taught God at home and church, which many of them are, then if it wasn't effective, the only reason to bring it to the classroom is for your personal gain.

So when my 16yrold was smoking pot in the basement, cutting herself, and doing God’s know what else, I called the police. They told me they couldn’t help me with her disobedience, they couldn’t help me have her go to rehab, all they could do was bring her back home to terrorise me and the younger kids. This kid was 19, a legal adult. What were his parents supposed to do ?

His parents died.

He was living with friends. He got expelled. He was studying for his GED. He was reported to the FBI.

Here is the rub: because taking away guns from private citizens is illegal, this happened. Without his AR-15, he couldn't have killed. Maybe he could have met someone to help him lead a better life. A second chance at happiness.

But I assure you, it's not a lack of God. Lot's of people with God use God to justify death. The Crusades, WWI, WWII (on Hitler's side, so he said), etc....

It's not God that needs to be placed in our classrooms. And let's be clear, if God was so great, he obviously wants this cluster-EFF of mass killings to happen, as he is all knowing and powerful. You have to have faith in that.

If you don't, if you think for one moment that no just god would allow this to happen-- let's be clear: there is no god and these mass killings are example of this.
