Why is it so important to the left that god not be in school!

[Dan]

Why would you want the schools to teach religion?

Straw man.  Stick to reality.

Shouldn't that be something personal that's taught in the home and church?

Yep.  I agree.  Schools should not teach children that homosexuality is normal and morally acceptable.

If you teach god in schools ...

Straw man.  Stick to reality.

Public schools don't seem to be the place for religious studies.

Agreed.  Government schools have no business teaching our kids what is morally acceptable and what isn't.

[Dan]

If you want a commie propaganda education for your brats, you are free to send them to a government school.  There is probably one near your trailer park.

Isn't that right, Warren?

 I know what the First Amendment says.

Then live it, Grasshopper.

I can feel the Christian love emanating from dan.  Amen-ah.

What about the Jewish kid who's parents teach him that Jesus is merely a prophet and not the son of god?   Would you want the teacher leading a discussion on that ?

[Dan]

Then live it, Grasshopper.

She is.  She is exercising her free speech.  She is exercising her right to assembly.  She is practicing her FREE EXERCISE of religion.  She is petitioning her government.  She is supporting the free press.  It's the left who wants to stop her from freely practicing her religion.

[Dan]

I can feel the Christian love emanating from dan.  Amen-ah.

Just repeating what you said, Warren.

[Dan]

Would you want the teacher leading a discussion on that?

Straw man.  Stick to reality.  I feel I need to elaborate since you are still not getting the point.  Nobody is talking about having the schools and teachers teach religion.  We are talking about ALLOWING students to independently practice their religion in schools.

[warrenpees]

If I had a religion, I would be free to practice it anywhere I wanted.

[warrenpees]

And don't forget the biblethumpers' alternative science.  I don't want American children growing up science-illiterate. 

[wvit1001]

You're allowed to pray in school now.  You can read the Bible now.   

[bhsgrad1972]

warrenpees, since you said "IF", I will not ASSUME that you are an atheist, or agnostic.  I will instead merely point out this little tidbit, with the word "YOU" meaning ANYONE who IS religious:

Ah, but ARE YOU really allowed to practice your religion anywhere you want?

If that truly is the case, then we wouldn't be seeing JEWS mocked, and their country THREATENED.  We wouldn't be seeing news this morning that ISIS BURNED a CHRISTIAN man alive in EGYPT. 

We wouldn't be seeing Christians SUED by homosexuals just because the Christians do NOT want to be FORCED to participate in "marriage" ceremonies the Christians believe are wrong.

And - I am NOT sticking up for Muslims here, and I actually agree with the French on this one, too, but still on the subject of religion and the freedom to practice one's religion - the country of FRANCE does not allow the niqab (the full-face veil) to be worn by Muslim women.
