How would you define "playing God?" Every time a person cuts down a tree, breeds a new variety of rose, or lights a fire, they are exhibiting a form of control over nature. Human existence isn't possible without altering certain aspects of nature. You can debate the ethical aspects of some of the ways that humans exert "god-like" influence, but advocating all cessation of such activities is advocating human extinction, which is probably something a divine creator wouldn't want.

What is separation theology?

Its the concept that God is not with us - we are separate from God. It originated at original sin, which defined "relativism" in the universe. It established good and bad, and allowed humans to judge. While the concept is supported by empirical evidence, in my opinion it undermines the life and concept of Christ who is supposed to be with us.

However, students are generally permitted to engage in personal religious activities and expression so long as it does not disrupt the educational environment or infringe upon the rights of others. Displays or discussions about God may be allowed in private schools or in certain educational contexts.

Why its right for us to play god?

I would say the opposite. "It is not right for us to play God". God is omnipotent and does not make mistakes while we humans are fallible and do. Thus if we as humans take it upon ourselves to decide who lives and who dies, this will cause suffering to others.
