Actually, I believe the "separation of church and state" everyone is so riled up about is to prohibit the government from establishing a national religion. That said,if we want schools to control their students, how about they do the impossible (hard as they try)and keep them from shooting people, stealing, cheating on tests, doing drugs, that kind of thing.
I went to school in the 40's and 50's. We had prayer, Bible reading, and the pledge to the flag every morning before class started. I cannot cite you one instance of anyone doing any of the above. We knew better. Our parents would have killed us.
Putting prayer and Bible reading back just might help eliminate some of the problems we have in the schools today. Good for the FO cheerleaders, and for the football players, teachers, Ronnie Cobb, and all others who support them.
Cheerleaders’ religious signs draw fire
