School officials may not advance or endorse any particular religion or sect, and may not prefer religion to non-religion.
Teachers may teach about religion in appropriate academic settings, such as history class, but may not reach from a sectarian ‘perspective’ or endorse a particular belief system.
Students have the right to maintain their own religious beliefs. They may not be pressured to participate in any religious activity, or in activities which violate their beliefs. School officials should try to accommodate reasonable requests for the private expression of religious beliefs. (ACLU, 1).
First we can thank the anti-American ACLU for schools going to far.
Secondly, many of these liberal nazis believe "If you allow this song to be sung, before you know it the government will be handing out Bibles and Crucifixes to every student in the USA AND teaching them Judeo-Christian principals". The old slippery slope theory that both sides use.
What really bugs the libs (aka ACLU) are the 10 Commandments, not the possibility that the government will endorse and teach one particular religion. Deep inside their scrawny little minds they know they break numerous commandments every day and they do not want anyone, not even God, to tell them they are doing wrong.
Of course, even deeper inside their rodent brains they worry what will happen when they are judged.
