Mrs Mcinnis

Pleased to meet you. Welcome to JPF.

I'm a bit of an old fart but I remember being taught the Pledge. I don't remember being given a choice in how I said it. I was told one way. First graders do not get choices.

I also don't remember different prayers being said by my coaches. They all said Christian prayers. Other religions were not mentioned. I wonder how it made the Jewish kids feel when the coach said; in Jesus's name we pray.

I don't think it would be quite fair to allow bible reading in school unless you are going to allow the Tora, The Koran, and any number of about a hundred other religions. When would they do their Math?
I could just see it now. About every hour or so some little group would get up from their chairs and put their little rug on the floor and start chanting.
Maybe the American Indian kids could sit in a circle and pass a pipe.

Also, there would not be so many "religious faiths" if everyone followed the Bible and the Bible only


So you think your religion is the only one that should be used? What happened to it being THEIR CHOICE as you stated earlier in the paragraph.
I think this is exactly why religion should be kept out of our public schools
