What would happen if all the teachers in the county schools simply refused to give up morning prayer? The school board would not fire all of them, and in any case the teacher’s union would not allow such a mass firing to happen. Perhaps this is the place to draw the red line and tell the atheists to (hopefully only metaphorically) go to hell.
How is this not prohibiting the free expression of religion?
It is impossible to have a religiously neutral education. Such a state of neutrality can not exist in the mind of any sentient human. For this reason government should get completely out of the schooling business.
Solution: Begin the process of privatizing all education in this nation. What is needed is complete separation of school and state.
Fundamentally, government schooling ( whether godless or God-centered) is a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination. It has **always** been an abomination.
