RELIGION IN THE SCHOOLS CELEBRATED BY LOCAL PRESS

Originally posted Sunday, September 24, 2006

Copy of a letter sent to a local paper - it celebrated elementary students preparing for a test using Tai Chi Chuan.. They were sitting in a yogic position with eyes closed, hands face up. Amazing! My comments -

I had very mixed reactions to the large photos and prominent coverage given to Joseph Pusacano's students practicing Tai Chi Chuan. On one hand, they glorified and endorsed the practice of Taoism and New Age techniques in a PUBLIC school where students are steered clear of the one name that really does help people (Jesus Christ), while on the other hand it exposed the sham of religion in the schools that has become routine. In California, some students had to practice Islam to learn about it. [[EMOTICON:SAD1]] In Philadelphia, some students were taught astrology. In other districts witches are instructing students about occult things.. It has never been about religion in the schools - it is about banning true Christianity. If school districts were TRULY religion neutral, Mr. Pisacano would have been summarily fired for cause. If it were only about religion, the paper would have shied away from printing this story. If it were only about religion, the ACLU would have been on the case.

We know that it is impossible for anyone to be religion neutral, as naturalism has engulfed science education, and some form of religion fills every spiritual vacuum. I say that no public school teacher should be allowed to lead their students in religious exercises in the classroom unless it is an optional course where this is specifically stated to parents, but that belief systems should be presented as a part of life and students should be free to practice their own religion without shackles.
