I am not advocating religion being taught in secular school. I am saying that if children wish to meet after school in a group, during the school day (say at lunch) in a group, before school in a group, and pray or study the Bible, then this should not be infringed against by the government. I also am saying if a teacher is approached by a student and asked Biblical questions, the teacher has a right to answer the questions without fear of punishment by the school district or threats by the ACLU. If, for example, a student asks a teacher about evolution, if this is really true, the teacher should feel free to state it is a theory but s/he does not believe it is true, that s/he believes in creation. The teacher does not have to proselytise to answer a question honestly.
I also believe a student/teacher has a Constitutional right to display, at their own desk, symbols of their belief (i.e., cross, Star of David, etc.), if they so choose.
The Constitution does not say there shall be a separation between church and state. It does say that there shall be no religion established by the government and that the government cannot infringe upon the right of individuals to exercise their beliefs.
Our Nation was founded on the Judeo/Christian belief. We have seen what our country has become since the Supreme Court ruled in 1964 that our country would do better without God.
Not more than a month ago, there was a thread on FR about a school where Muslim children were allowed the use of an empty room in the public school to say their afternoon prayers, the room was available to any group who wished to use it. There was also a mention in the article about a regularly scheduled meeting of a Christian Athlete's group after school, in a classroom.
I seem to recall a few years ago, when a neighbor's daughter was attending High School, that she belonged to a Christian group who met regularly on school grounds.
Granted, I am not immersed in the topic, but I don't see where things have changed that much in the last 20 years or so.
