I'm not familiar with the National Day of Prayer or what the school was doing. Part of the problem with public schooling is that it's government sanctioned and thus you get this whole church/state conundrum. If people were reasonable and level-headed, those who didn't believe in prayer could just be silent. But there is always (a) a jackass parent who complains that their child is being forced to pray, or (b) a jackass teacher who forces a kid to pray or ostracizes a kid who doesn't. Sadly, the peripheral d-bags force the issue and courts have to get involved to remove a relatively harmless "day" from the schools. If you choose public schools for your kid, this is the BS you buy into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Public schooling is this country's biggest failure. It took three months but you just said something I agree with. I actually thought it was going to take three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC-Bills Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 If prayer is so important for these people, why not get up 5 minutes earlier and pray with your kids? The public school systems already have enough problems to deal with. There is no need to throw this one in the pile. ... If people were reasonable and level-headed, those who didn't believe in prayer could just be silent. But there is always (a) a jackass parent who complains that their child is being forced to pray, or (b) a jackass teacher who forces a kid to pray or ostracizes a kid who doesn't. Don't forget the other kids who have been brought up to believe their religion is the one true religion and therefore will ostracize/taunt kids of different beliefs.

Gene Frenkle Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Cultist "God Hates Fags" and "Thank God for Dead Soldiers" zealots get protected by the First Amendment. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Why do you need the government to validate your faith? Why do we need to violate the First Amendment by combining church and state? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 It took three months but you just said something I agree with. I actually thought it was going to take three years. Of course the reason he thinks it's a failure is because they don't allow prayer in public school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
