God is "not allowed in schools?"

I keep seeing references that suggest that religion is no longer allowed in schools. The main one I've seen is a prayer to God asking why he didn't stop the shooting, where God's supposed reply is "I'm not allowed in schools!" This is completely FALSE! (Referring to public schools of course, as there are thousands of religious schools in the US)  Implying that God would lie doesn't reinforce your point.

First of all, if you are Christian, you've been taught that God is everywhere. God is not magically prohibited from entering public schools. If you have God in your heart, then he is with you always.

Secondly, students are allowed to wear clothes depicting their faith, crosses, etc. (including burka's) Showing your faith is not banned in public schools.

Thirdly, prayer is NOT banned in schools. Students are allowed to pray as long as they're not disruptive to the class. Groups of students can pray before meals if they prefer. Students are allowed to meet before or after school for prayer. Bible study/clubs are allowed.

Fourth: Students can express their religious views/beliefs IN CLASS if it pertains to the subject being taught. For instance, History class while discussing the Inquisition, or Science class regarding Galileo etc.

Government funded schools cannot display religious items such as the ten commandments because other religions don't necessarily believe the same as Christians. As a free nation, we must respect other cultures and faiths or we cannot be considered free. The laws we have in place only restrict us from forcing our beliefs on others. They do not restrict us from practicing our chosen religion.

God is most certainly allowed in schools. Prayer is not banned. If you believe that religion is banned, you are sadly mistaken. Please, stop perpetuating this lie.
