So what are you trying to say? Do you want more or less government involvement with religion?

I want the government to treat religion like any other speech. That means government should not discrimination against religious speech like it currently does. Why do gay lobbyists get to come into schools and advance an agenda that is hostile towards the religion of most people, but if someone wants to present an argument based on religious reasons, they are prohibited. The viewpoints of people with a religious viewpoint are being suppressed by a court system that has taken a hostile view of religion.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Education is NEVER religiously neutral, and the mention of, or prohibition, of the name of Jesus is merely one example among thousands.

It is just as much of a religious statement to forbid the name of Jesus as it is to include it. However,,the government school is in a Catch 22 because there is no middle ground. The government must either allow the name of Jesus or forbid it. Either action upholds and ESTABLISHES the religious worldview of some, and actively trashes that of others.

Solution: Get government OUT of the education business!

Government schools are a freedom of conscience and First Amendment abomination!
