Bryan's Page ~Religious expression in    public schools~           http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/5752/ Schools and religion: http://www.ifcj.org/edit10.htm/         The most significant government regulation on religion in America was on June 25, 1962 when the Supreme Court declared prayer in public schools unconstitutional.  Since then, there have been many amendments and other regulations in America on the regulation on government regulation of religion. Many people believe that the Separation of Church and State in the Constitution is to keep the church out of the state, but in fact, the truth is just the opposite.  The Separation of Church and State in the Constitution was put there to keep the government out of the church.  It is obvious now that this has been totally mistaken. Some examples of the government regulation today is on May 6, 1997, an appeal was made on a rule that let graduating seniors from Florida’s Duval County make a 2 minute speech at graduation because some “may use this time to pray.” Many religious organizations are trying to get a Freedom of Religion Amendment to pass.  These organizations include the Christian Coalition, Concerned Women for America, National Baptist Convention USA, Salvation Army, and the National Association of Evangelicals which includes many churches in America.  We should be very thankful for these organizations for their actions in trying to get God back in this country.   [ Home ]            [Links]  This page created by  Bryan Hoffpauir Background provided by  The Graphics Gallery
