Religion and Public Schools
When it comes to religion, public schools must obey two legal requirements that are hard to reconcile: let it be, and push it away. These are the clashing and equally forceful commands contained in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
The Constitution uses 16 words—known as the “religion clauses”—to create rules about how faith and government interact. One clause gives citizens the right to freely exercise religious convictions; the other prohibits government (including taxpayer-funded public schools) from establishing religion, meaning granting favorable treatment. -
Yet, because the Constitution is so brief about what’s expected and so vague on how to do it, the result has been years of conflict and strife. The main questions:
1. How far can students or school staff go in expressing their beliefs?
2. When have school officials gone too far in letting religion reign?
What it really amounts to is being fair. Unlike private schools, public school districts are bound by the Constitution, which forces them into a delicate balance. Board members and school administrators are required to allow personal acts of religious faith but to simultaneously avoid any appearance that religion (or any particular religion) enjoys special status. The U.S. Supreme Court has the final word in resolving disputes about what the Constitution permits or forbids.
Among the issues that have reached the High Court:
1. Can a school district allow students to conduct prayers over the loudspeaker and before kickoff at a varsity football game? (No)
2. Does a religious student club get the same rights and privileges as other student clubs? (Yes)
3. Is a school district required to give equal access to an outside organizations that provide after-school religious instruction to young children? (Yes)
4. Is a moment of silence really a cloaking device for prayer? (Sometimes)
5. Are the words “under God” in the pledge of allegiance unconstitutional in schools? (Undecided)
The duty to uphold the Constitution is a fundamental difference between public schools and religious schools. While government-sponsored schools must stay neutral (often called separation of church and state), private schools are not similarly bound. The contrast is stark: parochial and religious schools openly inculcate religion while teaching reading, writing, and mathematics.
Increasingly, public school leaders describe being seized by a powerful vise grip. On one side: local and national religious organizations that push, then sue if they believe religion is being denied. On the other: civil liberties groups, equally aggressive and equally willing to use federal courts to thwart coziness between religion and school practices.These types of cases have been around for decades, but as the United States has become increasingly polarized along religious lines, disputes and subsequent lawsuits over religion in the schools have drawn widespread attention on a local, state, and national level.
The following examples show what a
tightrope looks like on a day-to-day basis.
OK: Teaching about the Bible, the Torah, or other sacred texts and their influence on human behavior. No one denies that religion has strongly motivated behavior in the United States and around the world. Acknowledging that fact in the curriculum does not raise First Amendment concerns.
​
Wrong: Teaching sacred documents with devotion or as singular truth. It crosses the line when a teacher or school district portrays one religion or religion in general as the preferred belief.
OK: Allowing a student to wear a T-shirt, wrist band, or neckwear expressing religious belief. As long as the item is not vulgar, insulting, or otherwise inappropriate, school officials cannot interfere with that kind of personal statement.
​
Wrong: Forbidding such items or giving special treatment to believers. Problems arise when, for example, a teacher gives higher grades to students who mention “God” in their homework assignment, or district policy prohibits a skull cap (worn by Jewish boys) or Hijab (headscarf worn by Muslim girls) because of their religious connection. The toughest calls under the Constitution come when courts have to balance religious freedom against safety concerns. For example, a student has a right to pray between classes, but can not kneel in the hallway and create a hazard for other students trying to pass. As well, school officials have a keen interest in preventing gang affiliations, but would be hard-pressed to forbid a student from wearing a religious garment that happened to coincide with gang colors.
OK: Allowing a school-sponsored Gospel Choir that performs praise songs. While the music originates from church, the choir is learning principles of performance, vocal control, and other artistic concepts by participating. The words of faith are viewed as secondary.
Wrong: Forbidding students or staff to pray between classes or penalizing them for being absent for religious holidays. Contrary to some popular criticism, religion has not been driven out of the schools. As long as a student is not disrupting the normal flow of the school, he or she can say a prayer as desired. Also, in general, students should be allowed time away (briefly during the school day or for a single day or more) to comply with religious tenets.
Christianity is eroding in America and the nation's public education system is largely to blame, according to the co-author of the book "Crimes of the Educators."
In a recent WND interview, Alex Newman charged that the education establishment in America is "systematically destroying children's belief in biblical religion, in Christianity."
Newman noted a recent Pew Research Center report showing that while 78 percent of Americans identified themselves as Christian in 2007, only 71 percent did so in 2014. He said this is an indication that Christianity in America is declining—slowly but surely.
The Pew report also showed that today's younger generations are successively less Christian than those before them. Only 56 percent of younger Millennials consider themselves as Christians while 85 percent of the older generation regard themselves as Christian.Newman said it is incorrect to think that American public schools are secular or impartial towards various religions. Actually, the international journalist and educator said public schools in the U.S. are trying to force a religion on children, but it's not Christianity; rather, it is humanism.
Newman said the Humanist Manifesto could best explain what this religion of humanism is all about. It reads: "Religious humanists regard the universe as self-existing and not created."The manifesto rejects most Christian beliefs as it calls for a "socialised and cooperative economic order" to replace the "existing acquisitive and profit-motivated society."Newman said these humanist beliefs are now being taught in the classrooms of U.S. public schools.
Foreign religious beliefs have also infiltrated the U.S. public school system in recent years, he said. For example, last year reports said students in Madison, Wisconsin, were assigned to pretend they were Muslims, while students in Florida were instructed to recite the Five Pillars of Islam as a prayer and perform other Muslim rituals. Students in Tennessee were reportedly assigned to write the Shahada – the Islamic conversion creed.
Schools all over America are also promoting Buddhist meditation which is similar to prayer, Newman said.
At the same time, Christian practices are being curtailed. The Supreme Court has long declared that school-sponsored Bible reading is unconstitutional. Recently one Florida school system banned a Christian group from offering free Bibles on National Freedom of Religion Day. In 2013 an official at a California college ordered a student to remove or hide her cross necklace while working at a freshman orientation fair. One elementary school in Texas banned any mention of Christmas at a "winter party" held in December 2013.
"Any religion that doesn't have Christ in it is fine in the schools and is promoted in the schools," Newman said. "So what's going on here is really a war on Christianity."
Fourth Annual Gay & Lesbain Pride Day Assembley
Since we first allowed public schools to take over sex education, schools has become a breathing ground for sexual delinquets. We have gays, lisbiuns and others teaching them it is ok to be gay, we give out condums for safe sex, we tell them that save sex marraig is fine, gays can adobt boys and when a couple boys are caught in the bathroom they are called on the carpet.
By the time they are old enough to go out on their own they don't know to have a boy or girl for compaion.
Have you ever sat in on a Gay and Lesbain Pride Day in a school and see what goes on at their assembley? I haven't. I found this viedo on You-Tub and wanted to share it with those who cared what their children were being taught.
Starting In Kindergarten Children Will Be TaughtHeterosexual, Homosexual, Bisexual, And Transgender Lifestyles
This little guy is forced to dress like a girl.
Family Life Education (FLE) lessons will include teachings on heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual, and transgender identity. Lessons will include discussions about, oral and anal sex, and the different sexual lifestyles each live.
Starting in kindergarten, students will be taught about same-sex or gay marriage practices. FLE lessons will be taught at public schools in Fairfax County, Virginia, and are preparing to include gender identity in its curriculum, despite objections from parents.
​
“Most sections in the FLECAC committee’s report have been a part of the curriculum in past years, with the difference being that many of the instructional objectives now meet the Virginia Dept. of Education’s (VDOE) general Health Standards of Learning,” the board wrote.“As-such (they) no longer have an opt-out option. These topics include conflict resolution skills, respecting individual differences such as disabilities, ethnicities and cultures and mental health areas,
they wrote. Lafferty said students in 8th grade will be discussing President Bill Clinton’s “activity, along with oral and anal.” Fourth graders will receive instruction about incest, she said.
As Paul Harvey use to say, "and now the rest of the story." Watch and listen to the video to the left to find out more.
Satan is taking our childrenn on a field trip to Sodom and Gomorrah and the education department in America is making the trip mandatory.
Right now parents can refuse to allow their children to go, but soon they will have to allow it.
New York school girls forced to share lesbian kisses in sex education workshop
A New York middle school sponsored a workshop where 13 and 14 year-old girls were told to ask one another for a kiss and pretend like they were on a date.
Stand Up for Truth and Christian News reported:A recent anti-bullying presentation at a middle school in New York that focused on homosexuality and gender identity has angered parents after their daughters have come home to tell them they were forced to ask another girl for a kiss.
​
​According to reports, the session occurred last week at Linden Avenue Middle School in Red Hook, New York, near Poughkeepsie. A group of students from Bard College led two workshops for the youth, separated by gender. During the workshop for girls, the 13 and 14-year-olds were told to ask one another for a lesbian kiss. They were also taught words such as “pansexual” and “genderqueer.”
We sometimes ask the question, "What is wrong with our kids in today's sociaty?" It wasn't like this in our day. Boys dated girls and girls dated boys, or that was the way God meant for it to be. Today, boys have boy friends and girls have girl friends. Our children are so mixed up, they don't know which end is up. Who is to blame? There is enough blame to go around to everyone, but it starts at home. It is the parents place to look after their own children. The highest athority in the land tells us so in black and white. If only people would follow His instructions we wouldn't be in the shape we are in today. But as we all know, we know best. Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. Who is He talking to in this verce? Who had fun making a child? Everything falls on the shoulders of the parents.
The way things are looking in the world today, it may be too lat, but if He holds off on His coming, we can start by getting out to vote. We need to get rid of those who go against God and His teaching. As long as we have people teaching our children like those who force young ladies to kiss each other, things will never change for our children. As long as we have a president who condones same sex marraige and people in office who sits back and lets ungodly things go by, allows people to walk all over our constution and puts the American people on the back burner, things will wax worse and worse before the Lord comes.
All Christians, no matter the faith or church, should join together in Washington for a prayer meeting, walk around the White House, ask the Lord to cast out the deamons from hell and help us to hire the right kind of people to run our country.
The Teenage years are a Challenging Time
Someone please explain to me about life and who
I am?
The teenage years are a challenging time for many young people. But for those who think they might be gay, lesbian or bisexual, it can be even more bewildering. According to a new study published on Tuesday by the gay equality organisation Stonewall, 55% of lesbian, gay and bisexual young people experience homophobic bullying at school; 96% say they hear words like "poof" or "lezza" in the classroom, something that can be "hugely damaging" to children who are trying to come to terms with their sexuality, says the charity's chief executive, Ben Summerskill.
? Do you think the reason young people are confused and not under-standing what is happening is because of all the talk and teaching of gay rights, same sex marraige and being tault that it is OK for boys to have sex with each other and girls to do the same?
Stonewall's research, called The School Report, is based on an online survey of more than 1,600 lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGBT) young people between the age of 11 and 18 and is the second in a long-term study commissioned by Stonewall and carried out by the Centre for Family Research at the University of Cambridge.
​
While there are encouraging signs – reports of homophobic bullying are down from 65% in the 2007 survey – homophobic comments and language are just as common as five years ago. And what is most striking in the latest report is the number of children who have self-harmed as a result.
Almost one in four of those surveyed said they had tried to take their own life at some point (compared to 7% of all young people) and 56% said they had self-harmed – deliberately cutting or burning themselves, for example.But Summerskill says many schools are still not taking the issue seriously. "I think some teachers – particularly those who were trained a while ago – think, mistakenly, that it is unlawful to teach children about homosexuality. Others dismiss homophobic bullying as banter."
​
What makes this different from other forms of bullying is that many young people do not feel able to tell their parents , he says. "When a child is bullied for having ginger hair or being black, at least parents or carers can provide support at home, but many young people who suffer homophobic bullying don't have that. Many feel so isolated they withdraw from education."
Listed below are teenagers talking about
Their school experiences.
Tim, 16
I was in my last year of primary school when other pupils started calling me a queer and saying I sounded gay. I knew it was an insult, but didn't really know what it meant at the time.
When I came out, at 14, I started to get hassle on Facebook. People started commenting on my posts – which were nothing to do with my sexuality – saying things like "you shouldn't be on Facebook, you faggot".
It began to affect my school work; I didn't want to put my hand up or take part in group work because people would tease me about my voice being "gay". Sometimes I reacted badly and lashed out, which got me into trouble.
PE was the worst. Once, another pupil came up to me in his boxer shorts and said "Do you find this attractive? Do you want this? Do you want to suck my dick?" The teacher stood there, laughing. I went to my headteacher and said "if you don't want me to take that kid to court, then you do something about it". As far as I was concerned, it was sexual abuse, but he wasn't even punished. They just told him not to do it again and, rather than tackle the problem, asked me to get changed in the disabled toilet.
At my lowest point, I did contemplate suicide. There is only so much you can take of people telling you you're disgusting and vile.
Tina, 17
I first started to think I might be gay when I was about 13. There was this girl at school I was really good friends with and people started saying "Oh you two are always together – you must be gay". I think the fact they were saying it made me realise I did have feelings for her.
When I finally came out, things got really bad. My classmates would substitute the word "gay" for my name. At first it was funny, but after a while I started to find it upsetting. I also had problems with social media. I remember someone sending me a message on MSN that said "You are a lesbian Bulgarian twat".
The experience made me feel really small. I had only been living in the UK for a few years and didn't really have anyone to turn to. It got to the point where I didn't want to go to school. Things are better now I am in the sixth form. I still get a bit of teasing, but now I've found friends I feel comfortable with, I don't really care any more.
Kirstie, 16
I knew I was different, even in primary school. Friends would talk about boys they thought were hot, but I didn't really like any of them.It took me years to tell anyone how I was feeling. I thought my friends might not bother with me any more and my parents would be upset and think I was a bad person.
I was in year 9 when I finally confided in a friend. I thought I could trust her, until someone came up to me in class and went, "Gosh, I can't believe you're a lesbian". I ended up breaking down in tears in front of the whole class. My brother heard about it and told my parents, which made it even worse.
My school didn't really take the issue seriously. I remember going to my headteacher with some leaflets about homophobic bullying and his attitude was: "Yeah, that's gross. I'm not talking about that in assembly." Then I spoke to another teacher, who said, "On my [teacher training] course I was told I'm not allowed to support homosexuals, but I will see what I can do." If schools are not prepared to talk about the issues, it is not surprising that kids grow up thinking it's wrong.
Female child molesters
Sexual abuse of children by female offenders is starting to be more closely looked into.[5] It is not uncommon for a male who has been sexually abused by a woman in his youth to receive positive or neutral reactions when he tells people about the abuse.[6] Males and females sexually abused by male offenders, on the other hand, are more readily believed.
According to a study done by Cortoni and Hanson in 2005, 4-5% of all recorded sexual abuse victims were abused by female offenders. However, the Cortoni study numbers don't match the official statistics by The United States Department of Justicewhich found a rate of 8.3% for “Other sexual offenses” for females and The Australian Bureau of Statistics found a rate of 7.9% for “Sexual assault and related offences” for females.[citation needed]
Other studies have found rates to be much higher. For example:In a study of 3,586 of the cases of childhood sexual abuse, 9% had a female-only perpetrator and other 9% had both male and female perpetrators.[8]A separate American study found that the sexual abuse of children by women, primarily mothers, constituted 25% (approximately 36 000 children) of the sexually abused victims from a population of over one million abused children. This statistic is thought to be underestimated due to the tendency of non-disclosure by victims.
According to a major 2004 study commissioned by the U.S. Department of Education- In studies that ask students about offenders, sex differences are less than in adult reports. The 2000 American Association of University Women (AAUW) data indicate that 57.2 percent of all students report a male offender and 42.4 percent a female offender with the Cameron et al. study reporting nearly identical proportions as the 2000 AAUW data (57 percent male offenders vs. 43 percent female offenders), however this report appears to focus on offenders within the education system, and not necessarily offenders in general.[10] According to a 2011 CDC report there are an estimated 4,403,010 female victims of sexual violence that had a female perpetrator.
Female sexual abuse of children is frequently hidden in the daily task of care giving. It can happen during bath time, dressing and undressing, and diaper changing. But the abuse is not restricted to care giving; sexual abuse of children can happen any time of the day or night under any number of circumstances. “Women who sexually abuse children can be of any age, social class, intellectual ability, and marital status, and can be involved in any type of employment. They can perpetrate any form of sexual act and can behave seductively or sadistically towards their victims.”[12] In the book, Women Who Sexually Abuse Children: From Research to Clinical Practice, the female offenders were classified into three main groups: women who initially target young children, women who initially target adolescents, and women who are initiallycoerced by men.[12] There were “atypical” perpetrators, however, who did not fall into any of these categories. “Numerous studies have espoused that female sex offenders are not distinctly different from male sex offenders.
