Religion in schools

This has been something that has confused me for the longest.

There are people who are adamant about prayer in school. Especially public schools.

For those folks I ask, how come you don't send your kids to a religious school, if you feel it's so important? Also what about Sunday school? I remember having to go to Sunday school.

Your children will get the religious teachings you desire at both of these places. So why push it in public schools?

Maybe the country is supposed to be religious?dunno laugh
There are many things not allowed in public schools in the USA. For many of these there seems to be solid logic behind them. However, many of these changes have occurred because ONE or Two people spoke up. That is usually the case. The opinion of the majority is silent while the minority opinion is very loud. I'm not saying the minority is wrong. Just my view. A few years ago there was a woman who wanted to ban all religious programs from TV and radio. Why? She didn't want her kids exposed to it. Well I say TURN THE CHANNEL! BE A PARENT!

Thanks for letting me share my thoughts. And you have a valid point in your blog.
Don't pray in my school and I won't think in your church!grin
