Secularism in School

[Rev. Rye]

Hmm...

I definitely support girls in Catholic schoolgirl uniforms. Especially if said girls are lesbians.

I would have posted the scene from the episode of Only Fools and Horses where the Trotters are in a fallout shelter and Rodney starts drooling about the possibility of "A thousand nubile girls - in a shelter...in school uniform" surviving a possible nuclear holocaust, but I couldn't find it.

In all seriousness, in America, there exists a thing called "separation of church and state." Those words aren't in the constitution, but if you look closely at the First Amendment, the basic idea is. In essence, in a public school, funded by taxpayer dollars of people of all religious stripes, promotion of any particular religion is a violation of that principle. Fortunately, outside of talking about religion in either a strictly objective historical context or a strictly objective world religions class, there is really no need to talk about religion in school.

Granted, I went to a Christian grade school and high school, but that was mainly because my mother was convinced they would be better for a kid on the autism spectrum than the public schools; to hear her describe the conditions in public schools, one would have guessed she was talking about the Killing Fields of Cambodia.
