[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"God" Is already allowed in public schools. kids can bring a bible to read for instance. They cannot have lessons in a particular religion. And that is a good thing.[/quote]

Correct. I tried to make this point upthread. Kids can pray during lunch, before a test, and read religious text. Nobody can tell a child otherwise.[/quote]

Kids can express their own religious beliefs, read religious texts, and pray to any deity they personally choose. God(s) and/or any other divine beings as applicable to an individual's belief system do not need to be "brought back" because they were never forced out. I support this and think it's excellent; I firmly believe that people should have the right to practice any spirituality they wish as long as their actions do not infringe on the rights or freedoms of others. My children occasionally wear religious symbols (not Christian ones) to school and occasionally engage in prayers before high-stakes assignments.

What cannot happen in school, and what many posters seem to want, is school officials promoting the beliefs & practices of one particular religion (Christianity) and guiding students to adhere to its views and/or pray to its deity.  I emphatically believe that this should not be supported in public schools in the U.S. & think it would be inappropriate, unethical, and likely unconstitutional. [/quote]

Correct again, and again I agree.[/quote]
