Prayers and religious teachings have no place in public K-12 schools.
You want kids to learn your religion? Send them to a religious school.


Exactly, we expect and demand the government to stay out of our
churches. It's not the government's responsibility to teach religion.
That's what parents, churches, and religious schools are for.


Let me ask you this.

Would it be acceptable to teach the subject of creationism as part of
the social sciences education? If not, why not?



It's not a social science. It's a belief-based subject. I have no problem
with teachers identifying it for what it is, and that it's faith-based, not
science-based. Beyond that, I have strong objection.
