God Banned from school

[Canadian Jayne]

In Canada most public schools have
Taken God out of the curriculum
And morning prayer
My children went into the public school system and had prayer
I believe it had been banned from
Most public schools
I wonder how God feels about
Being banned from school

[Canadian Jayne]

Rather to say it has been
Banned from many public schools
Prayer is prayer no matter
What faith it is from
We should have a celebration of
All faiths thats why many
Of our ancestors came to this
Country
In irder to pray

what does p*ss me off is when Schools and councils ban Christmas. It really makes me sad when schools end up having concerts at Xmas which make no mention of Christmas and choose a generic secular theme. What's the point in having them then? And we no longer have Xmas holidays, it's Winterfest apparently.....

Yes Jesus is reason for
The season
Even Easter should be
Celebrated for what it is
That All will be resurrected
Not just the select few
If Jesus could do it
We can too
For us it may take
A longer waiting period though

My opinion might not be very popular here, but the way I see it, "God" has no place in school. By that I mean that prayers and things like that are things to practice in private places or places that celebrate certain religions. On the other hand, people of all religions should be able to go to any school they want, if their religion allows it. Kids must learn ABOUT religions of all kind, to get familiar with them. But not learn A religion.

We have big issues here with folk setting up so called religious private schools in their living rooms, which preach a very limited curriculum and use very dodgy texts and materials which say integration is bad, they teach intolerance and hate. The inspectorate are finally looking into these 'schools' but it's a very worrying time.

Im thankful that we can all
Voice our opinion here and
Respect one another for it
Thats gud

[Canadian Jayne]

I agree that its good to
Know about all religions
And find out for oneself
Then pray and ask God
To do
Sometimes an answer takes
Awhile
Sometimes it doesn't

My own personal opinion is that we should teach about ALL faiths in school, the kids need to learn about acceptance and understanding regardless of their religion. We're all in this life together, it will make it much easier if folk can respect each other. Scottish primary schools are pretty good at this but parents should not be able to remove their kids for those lessons.
