Reaper...this is NOT a 'Christian Country'...no where does any document say anything about Christ.
We are, "One Nation, Under God." so to sum it up...^^^THAT is what this country was founded upon...THAT...is an American statement.
We are free to find G*D, (or not) as we each individually see fit.
Public school, as an extension of the governmental powers, (each school funded at a city, state & federal level), can not (nor can their officials: teachers, nurses, principals, lunchlady) make any prayers out loud in public view (be they Muslim, Jew, or Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, or Pagan.)
I don't want my kid in that kind of situation, where someone else is tellin' him how to pray...
...or how not to...if I did, I'ld send him to Catholic school...
The matter of aide rendered to immigrants & refugees, does not have ANY bearing on their Religious/Spiritual practices ('cept, if they are into cannibalism, we may have a lil' something to say about THAT.....hehe)
A teacher in comparative religions class...HAS to be VERY non-bias...& for his words in the form of, "over here, they do this." making sure NOT to talk about himself........very hard job...I don't want it.
There is only 1 exception...at an after school club ( with it's own funding) the teacher in charge may do as they will...IF it is privately funded...
