Barry Lynn on the new book Religion In the Public Schols

Religion in the Public Schools:
A Road Map for Avoiding Lawsuits and Respecting Parents Legal Rights * Is school prayer ever permissible? * Can a teacher teach about religion in history class? * Does creationism belong in a science course? * Do students have to learn about things that are against their religion?

Questions about the proper role of religion in public education continue to reverberate across the nation. With our country becoming increasingly diverse, its important that educators, principals, superintendents, school board members, parents and students understand what public schools can and cannot do when it comes to religion

This is information we can all use. You have every right to your religious beliefs. But don't preach to me or my children.

before religion was banned from American public shools the "mindbenders" used to brainwash schoolchildren daily to believe in the absurd hebrew bible super-natural fairytales. Slowly over time many of the people became educated enough to see that the hebrew bible is a crudely designed slave manual that the jewish planners wrote for their descendants to study and implement.

"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." - Voltaire

Help me here. I'm happy to have 'speration of church and state,' in our schools. I'm not a religious person, so I find things in my sons history textbook, when describing Mohammed and Christ. Mohammed is described as the Phophet speaking the word of Allah, while Christ is described as put forth as the 'son of God' by Christians. This is a double standard, clear and simple. When this organization goes after ALL the religions, I'll take it more seriously.
