A St. Louis federal judge has ordered a school district in the boot heel of
Missouri to refrain from school-initiated/sponsored prayer or other religious activities.
The ruling calls for the district to abide by the policy of separation of church and state and forbidding the espousal of religious faith.

Click Here.One of the quotes from the article was “…Parents, not principals, get to choose whether their children are exposed to religious activity. It’s not the job of public schools to proselytize.”
With that said, why are Public schools teaching the students subjects such as Safe Sex, the basis of the Islam RELIGION, or how the Bush Administration is hurting America? If it is not the place of the School Administration to promote Religion, it should not be the place of the School Administration to promote Condoms. Plain and Simple. Shouldn't the Parents, not the School Administration, get to choose whether their children are exposed to these topics?

I agree that public schools are stepping out in areas that they do not need to be in. The ACLU hardly ever does any good for the people, they just wanna sue, sue, sue.
The ACLU is just that the "AntiChristian Liberties Union." If I were a teacher wouldn't it be my liberty to pray with my class? It would be the students' liberty not to participate. I doubt all of the kids in Doniphan were truly praying and devoting their hearts and minds to God and what was being said. Most of them were probably fidgeting and looking around, or thinking about strategy for their new XBox game.
David Limbaugh's "Persecution" is out in paperback now. I need to find time to read it...
Ever heard of "Separation of Church and State?"
And FYI: I'm NOT a ALCU fan.
What is the ALCU? Idiot
Don't flatter yourselves! Flattery wont get your conseravite (notice I didn't say Republicans) anywhere.

Will three times be the charm for you to make sense?
The phrase "separation of church and state" appears no where in the Constitution or any other legal document. It appeared in a personal letter from Thomas Jefferson to a Baptist minister. Jefferson was reassuring the minister that rumors about a state sponsored church were untrue.
It by no means implied that there is no religion in this government. Read the preamble. Visit DC and look at the buildings and their inscriptions.
Well put, Angel.
IT DOES NOT have to appear in a document to for one to realize it. If you have taken any political science classes, you would have known that the founder fathers have left it implied within the First Amendment.
Therefore, I stand by what I said before. Bring religion into politics and it will be the end of American freedom and Democracy.
Wrong, Wrong, Wrong...the founding fathers were deeply religious and set up Freedom OF Religion not Freedom FROM Religion.
The design was to make it so that Government could not tell the people what Religion they had to practice.
Let's all pout about this shall we. I love how conservatives like to pout.
Pouting?? How about the Democrats and 'Path to 9/11'??????
