Put God Back in Public Schools!
- by: Shuntae King

We as a nation in the United States claim to be a Christian nation and many citizens in our population attend church or mass at least once a week. It is shameful that nationwide poublic schools want to exclude Christianity. Students and staff should be allowed to pray freely and lead thier peer groups in prayer in public schools. The bible should be allowed as a supplemetary text in public school in English and History classes and students should have bible based classes and/or after school groups available in public schools. When students are given assignments they should be allowed to use the name of God or Jesus in their schoolwork if they can relate it to the assignment with no penalty. Students should not be required to pray to Jesus in school but they should be allowed to pray in school at any time during the school day without penalty or interruption. There should be two moments of silence in every public school-one at the beginning of the school day and one at the end of the school day so students and staff can pray to whoever they pray to silently. Students and staff should be allowed to share their faith in Christ with other students and staff in such a way that it is pleasurable conversation and not pushy or coercive because some students and adults want to know God and want to learn even more about God. Our pledge of allegiance says that we are oe nation under God and yet our nation is trying to keep God out of public schools and the public sector. When God was in schools, schools were a lot less violent, students were better behaved, and most of the adults were more trustworthy-with God all hell has broken loose in our public schools. Let's bring God back in our schools and put our schools back under God's protection.
Dear President Obama:
I am submitting this petition signed by these supporters in an effort to allow Christians to practice their faith freely in school. It is shameful that the US is supposed to be a Christian nation and yet God is removed from the public sector. I know for sure that if we as a society put God back in schools there will be a sharp decline in school violence, school shootings, bullying and bullycide, things that go wrong with teens and sex, fewer adults seeping into the system who are not safe for our children to be around, fewer major disciplinary problems in children and adults, higher grades, higher graduation rates, more students going to college,and fewer people in our future generation depending on governmental assistance, which is paid for by taxpayer money, for long periods of time. Please look over this petition and do whatever you can do to put God back in our schools. I am not trying take away religious rights of other religions but I am defending the right of religion of Christians, which is the most popular religion in the United States.
