School Should Be A Place Of Unification Between People And Religion

I concur the first amendment protects students right to express themselves in various distinctive school environment such as during discussions, and interaction with their peers. Moreover, public schools cannot prevent student’s ability to pray and learned about diverse religion in the curriculum.

This article analyzes the First Amendment of the United States Constitution in order to persuade the reader that religious education should be included in school curricula. However, Chaffee argues that public schools may not hinder nor prohibit the teachings of a specific religion over others, as “Public schools uphold the First Amendment when they protect the religious liberty rights of students of all faiths or none. Schools demonstrate fairness when they ensure that the curriculum includes study about religion, where appropriate, as an important part of a complete education” (Chaffee). Chaffee then mentions Professor Charles Haynes, a First Amendment scholar, master teacher, activist and change agent, whom he has spoken to about the matter.

For centuries, the debate has existed whether or not to allow prayer in public schools. Many Americans feel it is not right of the schools to teach religion. With all the diversity associated with the United States, public schools cannot select one standard religion to practice, due to the cultural and religious differences in the country. Not only are schools the storm center of controversy involving religious differences, they are the principal institution charged with transmitting the identity and mission of the United States from one generation to the next. If we fail in our school policies and classrooms to model and to teach how to live with differences, we endanger our experiment in religious liberty and our

Religion when it is forced is not the same as choosing a religion that one genuine believes rather than pretending to believe for the sole purpose of avoiding persecution (Madison 478). By the having a government that is impartial to people of all religions, the government is truly fair and are able to make the right decisions. The impartialness to any particular religion therefore is fundamental characteristic of a good candidate for any government office .President John F. Kennedy addressed directly that if at any time his religious beliefs affected his decision as president; he would resign (Kennedy 486-49). The national government non- religious basis is what makes it so effective, logical, and

Freedom of Religion means that the government can’t force you to accept only one set of religious beliefs or the way you worship. You can worship your own way and have your own religious beliefs as long as they don’t violate other people's rights. Today this is a very big debate when it comes to prayer and schools. Several cases have been brought to the Supreme Court about this and whether students have the right to pray in class or if the prayer would interfere with another student’s rights.

The subject of student rights has caused a lot of confusion and anger for decades now. There are two different sides that everyone seems to fall into. Some people want the constitutional rights of students to be fully protected within the school. The other side believes that, as a public institution, schools should regulate what is said or done by students to protect everyone involved. This is where it gets confusing, because it is hard to draw the line between what is allowed or not. The three most interesting topics that I chose to cover are a student’s right to free speech, religion within the school and student privacy.

“Our government has been based on religious principles since the very beginning. The Declaration says,” We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by certain unalienable rights…”.” This shows that our constitution, made for independence, wants the American people to keep God with them in everything they do. Even George Washington declared that U.S. citizens need to obey God and his will. George Washington was the first president of the United States. If he wanted the people to listen to God and obey his will, why change that now? Religion in school is not harmful in anyway. People can get talked about and bullied for their religion they practice. That is life and no one should be judged because of their religion they practice or live with. This is a free country and religion in school would not only help the students and teachers, who do not know much about religion but help people to have a better understanding and respect for other people's culture. Maybe, some people prefer not to pray at school, which is not a problem. Prayer would not be mandatory. Everyone's prayers are different; students would not be forced to say their prayer. Only if they want to. “...the supreme court did not “remove prayer from public schools.” The court removed only government sponsored worship (“Ten Reasons”

Constitution's First Amendment requirement that the District neither establish religion in the schools nor prohibit students’ free exercise of religion according to pertinent interpretation and application of those constitutional provisions by the courts. Any religious characters need to conform to policy 8800” (Markesan District School, 2013). “Decisions of the United States Supreme Court have made it clear that it is not the province of a public school to advance or inhibit religious beliefs or practices” (Markesan District School, 2015). Under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution, this remains the “inviolate province of the individual and the church of his/her choice. The rights of any minority, no matter how small, must be protected. District staff members shall not use prayer, religious readings, or religious symbols as a devotional exercise or in an act of worship or celebration” (20 U.S.C. 4071 et seq.) (Markesan District School, 2015). Having examined the Markesan District School First Amendment related to this topic the next step is to conclude my research on this topic.

What is cannabis? One of the most common illgial drugs that is used by people in the world.Cannabis also known as marijuana is a drug that comes from a cannabis plant that tends to grow in types of environments that are warm in the world. The marijuana is composed of the leave from the plant that have been dried out. In this drug there is an ingredient that gives users a feeling of being “high” the ingredient called delta-9 tetrahydro-cannabino, also know as THC. The felling of being “high” is reached when the marijuana is smoked or mixed in with something that is edible.

“Faith, Truth, and Tolerance in America,” is a speech by Edward M. Kennedy established through literary devices. As he spoke to the college through this dialog there was historical, political and social views but also historical political views and points in which the speech had progressed by expressing views of religion being an aspect in how the government were to rule. Though there is multiple literary devices that are used to create ethical, emotional, and logical appeal, although the majority is ethical, he brings historical factors of political views of past politicians of whether or not it should be an aspect or an influence in government, most of which were presidents at one time or another. Thus informing the audience of the support

Education today require more than business as usual. Nurses today, faces myriad challenges that include transformation through distance learning and advances in information. The need for technology and advance base in training and practice (Brown, Kirkpatrick, Greer, Matthias, & Swanson, 2009). Education in the 21st century includes engaging learners as active participants in the learning process. Therefore, due to the seriousness of the faculty shortage, it is imperative that learners are self-regulators in education (Brown et al., 2009).

America wastes a lot of time trying to create a democracy completely absent of the moral expectations that our ancestors have put into place. Our founding fathers’ dream of establishing a country in which all people would be accepted has begun to fall. In our attempt to rid our country of a democracy contaminated with any belief in a supreme power, we have rid ourselves of many of our values and morals. Perhaps it is impossible for religion to dominate our political country, but we have misinterpreted the original intent of “separation of church and state” and taken this concept too far.

In Andreas Capellanus’s The Art of Courtly Love, it states that “Love makes an ugly and rude person shine with all beauty, knows how to endow with nobility even one of humble birth, can even lend humility to the proud.” This means that true love can transform the flaws in different people. In Geoffrey Chaucer’s poem “The Wife of Bath’s Tale” from the “The Canterbury Tales”, this idea is reflected by the love between a knight and an old crone. The knight is saddened by the fact that he is forced to marry such an ugly, poor, low class woman but once he shows her true love she transforms to a beautiful young woman that is faithful and loyal, and he no longer sees her as poor and low

Religion in Schools has proven to be a very controversial matter as of lately. Even though teaching about religion is allowed in public schools, there are still many questions that are being asked in order to provide a basis of what is appropriate for school, and what is inappropriate. The first amendment to the United States Constitution says that 'congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof' which implies that you have the choice of exercising your own religion, no matter what it may be. However, this poses an interesting argument within the public schools of America because we have such a diverse population with
