My post consist mostly of the Drill Organizers Comments:
“’New Crusaders’, who don’t believe in separation of church and state:” and “expelled for praying before class.”
My Reply: Fundamentalist were called “Separatist”, before we became the United States. They obviously do not teach history very well. Separation of church and state was formed to keep the state out of The Churches. “New Crusaders”, nothing new. The terrorist are those who oppose and oppress Freedom, which our Great nation was formed to protect. Which by the way includes the right to pray in school. Praying in school is not against the law. My Goodness, we even have a National Day of Prayer.
President Regan spoke to the Joint Session of The Alabama State Legislature on March 15, 1982 saying:
“To those who cite the first amendment as reason for excluding God from more and more of our institutions and everyday life, may I just say: The first amendment of the Constitution was not written to protect the people of this country from religious values: it was written to protect religious values from government tyranny.”
