Our first amendment clearly states that " Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" When our country was founded, the same principals were important then as they are now. Since public education is founded by the government, there should be the same regulations in schools as in our country. By having a bias free learning environment, students can learn and make their own judgments and choices.
Most people would agree with me when I say that Church and State should be septate. In some cases, we see certain teachers trying to preach their personal religions on to their students. This is a choice that should be made by the student outside of school and its not fair to pressure or convince young kids into exploring a certain religion. The reading from the First Amendment Center gives great examples, "From the “Bible wars” of the 19th century to current fights over posting the Ten Commandments in classrooms," It has been a long lived debate in this country and I trust that the separation is the best thing for our children and country.
