Somethings are ok remaining secular.
There's a difference between ending schools teaching secularism, and schools simply being secular. The seperation between chuirch and state is the guard on on both sides. It's tempting to see schools trying to indoctrinate childrten to abandon faith and think to swing the pendulum in the opposite direction, because it makes sense to imagine there being an opposite direction.
But there isn't. There is only one wrong and one direction that both errors fall in: injecting belief. Be that belief in this god, that god, no god, and the dogma that surrounds each competing theocracy. Schools aren't the place for this. And while guard against secular theism is critical, that guard does not take the form of alternative theocracy.
The bill doesn't force kids to pray nor does it have the teachers leading a prayer session. It literally just provides students the opportunity to pray if they so choose. There's nothing wrong with that nor does it violate the separation of church and state.
Call it a moment for 'self-reflection' if the word' prayer' is troublesome. It hurts no-one.
Why not have an adjoined chapel? You don't have to use it if you don't want to.
Making one for every single religion observed in the school might be expensive.
People have rights and there is nothing wrong with providing a moment for people to pray if they choose. Your reasoning would also include not saying the pledge of allegiance. WHY are they allowed to teach evolution which takes more faith to believe in than a Creator?
That right lies in the explicit restriction of government in denying or establishing of religion. A bill signed to require time for prayer is literal establishment, which violates our rights.
Religion is not the role of government, adn the founding fathers who themselves were all religious recognized this. They saw what happened when governing bodies took a role in religion. You approve today, but the precedant this sets allows for shit you wouldn't approve of tomorrow. That's why government is supposed to completely stay out of it.
Evolution is demonstrateable. Schools teach that which is falsifiable. You can not prove god does not exist, so they do not teach about god. But you can prove that evolution is not true (it simply hasn't been not be done) which why like gravity, math, and grammar, they teach those. By being flasiable, but unfalsified, we arrive at our best picture of truth, and school exists to teach truth as best we know. If 1+1 didn't equal 2, you could show that. Since iot can't be show, we teach that 1+1=2. The same applies to evolution.
If you think evolution has nothing backing it, you're embarassingly wrong and have very poorly informed people bringing you up. There isn't a single line of criticism against evolution that refutes it's premise, despite every prediction that such evidence ought to exist and be easily found.
Schools aren't the place for this.
Schools are facilities that are paid for, and supported by, local taxes. They're exactly the place where this should happen. Classrooms should be available early on school days. Each flavor of religion could have its own classroom for thirty minutes. Local clergy could lead and missions teams could provide breakfast for the children. A determined citizenry could make this happen if it took control of its school board.
Right, they are government facilities, this makes them NOT the place for this. The seperation between church and state isn't some modern interpretation from some activist retard liberal judge, it is the explicit original intent of the founders who wrote the constiution.
Religion is on you, the government doesn't exist to touch it in any way. Not to deny it, not to facilitate it, nothing.
Signing a bill is literally in opposition to "shall pass no law..."
That would be beautiful.
Morality is not the exclusive domain of theology. How arrogant must you be to think theology has a monopoly on morality. If the founders felt the government had a place using the power of government to empower religion, they wouldn't have explicitly denied the government that role, and repeatedly made their position clear on the matter.
Kindly piss off. My government has no business injecting itseld into the domain of religion. Not in denying it, not in supporting it, not in making a space for it, nothing, zero, nada. It passes laws and enforces them. It doesn't decide there needs to be more or less religion in this space or that.
Don't call Thomas Jefferson a retard. I guarantee you he was a smarter more considerate man than you.
