Personally, I don't think people should be "afraid" to talk about God in school. Who cares if people think you're "preaching" God has done so much for us and it all goes unnoticed. It makes me mad that people don't allow this freedom. It's in the first amendment!! Freedom of speech should include the freedom to talk about God. -VC

∙ 8y agoIn public schools in the United States, and a number of other Western countries, there is an official policy of secularism, meaning that the school cannot advocate or validate any religious arguments. The reason for this is to maintain an education that focuses on shared Western values and creating a useful citizenry. However, conversations about God in a historical context (e.g. people starting believing in a single God in Ancient Israel) and discussion of religious beliefs as a factual matter (e.g. Christians believe that Jesus was the Son of God) are permitted in secular schools. The prohibition is on saying "the Christians are correct to believe that Jesus is the Son of God".

Why is God not allowed in public schools and are there certain rights you have in school?
AWESOME QUESTION MAN (or girl)! God is not allowed in public schools because He might "offend" some kids or parents of kids that go to public schools. Children are not allowed to pray to God. However, I bet if you ask a local public school if their students are allowed to pray to Allah (not the same as the Christian God). There are certain rights you have in school, and that is you can have any religion, but you can't witness to other people. You cannot pray in front of other children, and teachers cannot teach religion unless its on a historical point of view. Is this fair, or unfair? You decide. :0) We actually studied this in school. The constitution of our country keeps school and church as separate as possible. there are multiple laws involved with the issue as well
