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!
Please read #59. I forgot to ping you.
So meditating in/before/at class, and saying “thank you Allah, praise be to you.” over a loudspeaker is ok in public school to you? Muslims pray 5 times a day to Mecca, many religions meditate, would you be ok with a child or teachers professing or repeating any of these religious beliefs and traditions to your children?
I think it’s just best to leave all of it out and let the parents teach religion and spirituality.
