A teacher in Ohio, who has kept a Holy Bible and a copy of the 10 Commandments on his desk for 23 years, was told by the principal to remove them…under separation of church and state. Here’s his comment: “Please notice that the attack on religious freedom in America is on Christianity. No one is trying to silence the religious freedom of Muslims or atheists or humanists. Quite the contrary. We are told to ‘understand’ Muslims, to be sensitive to the atheists and to tolerate the humanists and their various denominations of ‘isms’ (environmentalism, feminism, secularism, socialism, communism), which we teach openly in our schools.”

This man has a point, doesn’t he? It does appear to me, anyway, that Christianity is being downplayed or decreased…while secularism, Islam, respect for atheists (who don’t believe in GOD anyway, so what’s the fuss?) and just about everything else is being ‘promoted.’ Why is that?

And I don’t see why he has to remove his Bible from his desk. Is it because he’s a Christian? I can’t imagine everyone respects the Holy Bible as a divine book. Rather, some folks think of it as just another book, some great fairy tale. So why is having the Book in plain view illegal? It sits on library shelves, doesn’t it (or maybe it doesn’t…)? If the man is not opening up the Bible and reading aloud from it and trying to ‘convert’ anyone, he is not violating the Constitution…which also allows him religious freedom (for the time being, anyway).

I bet the teachers at secular schools and universities who go off on ‘ridiculous’ religions and gods, etc. aren’t told to reign it in.

I remember once in 9th grade the teacher gave us an assignment after having us discuss why we do or do not believe in GOD. One kid said he did not, because some family members of his died in a horrible car accident. I, however, didn’t get faced with the question in round table, but rather got to read my assignment on the subject before the class. My young 15-year-old self belittled the Big Bang Theory and it’s ridiculousness. The teacher made no obvious judgments with any of us…but I found it mildly curious that we would even be discussing GOD in a public school.

What’s that have to do with anything? — Not much. It just came up so I thought I’d share. Got a story of your own?

And it’s sad to think that a kid in public school can’t open up their Holy Bible on their lunch break to get a different kind of education.
