There's a little something called "separation of church and state", tax money is being spent for every minute a child is in public school. This time should not be allotted for religious activities. If parents want their children schooled on religion they should read the bible and pray at home and or attend sunday school.
Whats next? Would you want people bowing down to bless Mohamed ten times a day in public school? I know I wouldn't.
First of all, Muslims "only" pray five times daily.
I'll buy you an “extra turbo” In-n-Out burger if you can show me anything in the Constitution about separation of church and state.
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.
I think that's pretty unambiguous.
“The free exercise thereof”…means, if one feels the urge to kneel on the sidewalk and pray, no one can stop it. I guarantee no one would stop a Muslim from doing it…that would be politically incorrect.
Why do so many on the left feel threatened by religion and religious people? I have never been accosted by a Bible waving zealot trying to force their ideology down my throat...I can't say the same thing about the religion of the left. I think the one thing the left fears from religion is...hope. What part of not "prohibiting the free exercise thereof" is so hard to grasp. From a purely practical standpoint, if religious practitioners are wrong in their faith…what harm has been done to you? If you’re wrong about your lack of faith, well. Yet you and your ilk seem bent on making everyone conform to your idea of what people should be…maybe that’s just the main fault of "progressive" Socialists…their need to control every aspect of the people's daily lives.
Why is it ok to teach (a purely personal value idea like) it's ok for little Johnny to have two daddies, yet go absolutely apoplectic because there is a plaque on the wall listing the 10 Commandments...which, if observed would benefit society far more than Johnny's two Dads.
Plain and simple, the left fears what it can not control...spiritual beliefs, free speech, you name it.
