State lawmakers seem hellbent this session on pushing their religious views into our public school system. In doing so, they are waging an onslaught against the rights of religious minorities.
Religious instruction is the job of parents and faith leaders, not public school employees. And yet, FOUR bills are moving this session designed to allow religion to infiltrate into the classroom.
It is virtually impossible to implement a biblically based curriculum in a public school that complies with the Constitution, even with the best of intentions. All courses offered at public schools -- whether mandatory or elective -- must be secular, objective, non-devotional and must not promote any specific religious view.
We need you to make your voice heard at a public hearing at 9 a.m. Monday, Feb. 24 in House chambers. Tell the Legislature that religious instruction belongs in the home and in houses of worship, not in public school classrooms. Tell them that government officials should not be telling our children which religious beliefs are true and which aren’t.
***IF YOU PLAN TO SPEAK PLEASE SHOW UP AT LEAST TEN MINUTES EARLY AND SIGN UP***
