this is very simple. the courts think that the Constitution creates a wall of separation, i think it doesn't. why is there a problem with that? the courts can change there mind you know, so they must be wrong at some point.
i do agree that "Constitutional law is the sum of all the court cases...
i'm not saying we should have a class that teaches about God. i'm saying we should allow the schools to decide what to teach and not be forced to teach a New Age education.
if two or more separate groups of people agree on a idea then that idea can be taught according to the Constitution. but...
Ok, Ive just got one more question, then Ill probably give up because were getting nowhere but i might do some fallow up. What single religion would be promoted if they were to teach the bible in schools? Well it would promote many different religions you would need a lot of fingers to count...
well i duble posted but sincee i edited is so many times, why not just one more to add something productive
Ceridwen018 could you show me where in the Constitution it says "separation of church and state", i'm having truble finding it.
Total separation is not possible in the absolute sense. Some relationship between government and religious organizations is inevitable. The constitution does not require complete separation of church and state; it affirmatively mandates accommodation, not merely tolerance, of all religions...
just a little question. how are the students rights being violated? there not being indoranated enless you want to say that teaching evolution is idocranation... so what rights are being taken away?
I don't get you guys... where are you getting this from.
Maize, are you sure you want to say there is NO scientific evidence for creation?
Mr_spinkles though I disagree with you aren't we talking about religion in schools? There is nothing wrong with a state government funding the...

"Is it possible that our cultural loss of civility is due to our unrestrained pursuit of freedom without boundaries? Have we made a fetish out of freedom to the point that it is viewed as the cure to all our unhappiness?
It seems to me that the...
They should teach the Christian religion, call me what you want but his county is a Christian nation and when they said "an establishment of religion" they meant not to teach one denominations Christian beliefs over anothers.
And they teach evolution, why didn't you guys respond to that?
I just don't see how to federal government has any bissness in school... it's up to the states. And a classroom that teaches there are morals and absolutes is not restricting anyones rights. it's up to each state to deside how to run there schools.

Exactly, there is no such thing as the Christian belief, but they all believed there is a god, but there is one, as you say runt that may or may not believe theres a god, I really don't know. The one that could be an atheist and one other guy or two I think believed that Jesus was just another...

Im not readying anything into it, don't you think that if they didn't want any religion at all to be recognized they would have said "congress shale make no law respecting any establishment of religion" I think they chose there words very carefully and meant EXSACTULY what they said. besides...

Congress can't make AN establishment... meaning it can't make one and only one establishment. and thats just dealing with separation of church and congress, there is nothing in the constitution that says that there is a separation of church and state.
