I am honestly diehard against it. You cant have religon in schools that are diverse as public schools. I am fine with Private schools etc, but public schools are for all. An arabic child going to a public school where christianity is tought is pretty wrong. Even more, public schools are part of the government, and since you need to seperate government and religon, there. Also, schools are to teach un-bias non-religous pure fact or theory. Such as for science. You cant block things like evolution theory, because it is that, a theory. An idea. Blocking it out just keeps kids blindly ignorant of other ideas. Maybe it goes against you religon to teach it, but hey, it is school. Put your child in a private school if you have a problem. If you cant afford it, deal with your child becomming intellegent of all things, not half truths and lies.

Religion in any aspect of government is unacceptable.
Among the right wing political and religious elements of the United States there is a concerted effort to rewrite history to support their belief that America was founded as a Christian nation, even though the U.S. Constitution contains no mention of Christianity or Jesus Christ.
While some of the early Colonies did establish governments based on various religions, those same religious based colonies practiced religious intolerance and persecution. The same things they came to America to escape. When it became necessary to band together to separate from England the leaders and great thinkers of the time stepped forward to help outline a form of government divorced from the bigotry of religious favoritism.
Luckily a large group of free thinkers who where Deists (Free Masons) and not Christians won the day and religion was kept from dominating the government of the United States.
In the early days of the United States the Pope was vocal about his opposition to the non-Christian Deists in the United States and clear on his insistence that the Church should control the government. This is the same Church that today harbors pedophiles and moves them from one community another with out warning the community, giving these sick people a new pool of children to pray on. The rest of the Christian community says nothing about it and George Bush the great Christian and war hero says nothing about it.
All George Bush has to say are frightening things like, "I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn’t do my job", and supports the inclusion of religious doctrines in the teaching of science in public schools. My greatest fear is that, as a representative of the extremist right wing of Christianity, Bush feels that the second coming of Christ will take place once the war of Armageddon takes place in the middle east. I don't what to be part of his perverted religious philosophy. Get Religion Out Of Government.
