To suggest that Schools do not talk about God, or the Bible, is simply misnomer in Nature, as they sometimes do. But as for the Question itself, Teaching Religion, in a Public, Tax Payer Supported School District, Tends to Violate Article One of the U.S. Constitution. One of the more Famous Tests ,of the Authority of Article One, to Prevent Religious Teaching at Tax Payer Expense is the following, Supreme Court Case-Abington School District v. Schempp & Murray v. Curlett (1963) Court DecisionArguments for both cases were heard on the 27th and 28th of February, 1963. On the 17th of June, 1963, the Court ruled 8-1 against of allowing the reciting of the Bible verses and the Lord's Prayer. Justice Clark wrote at length in his majority opinion about the history and importance of religion in America, but his conclusion was that the Constitution forbids any establishment of religion, that prayer is a form of religion, and that hence state-sponsored or mandated prayer in public schools cannot be allowed. There are quite a few similar cases involving the Breach of Article One, a simple search on the web, using such words as " Constitution and Public Prayer" will generate numerous hits.

Did God stop talking to man in the new testament?

While direct communication from God to individuals may not be as prevalent in the New Testament as in the Old Testament, it is believed that God continues to communicate with people through scripture, prayer, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The New Testament emphasizes a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ as a way for believers to access God's guidance and wisdom.


Is god allowed in schools?

In public schools in the United States, the separation of church and state typically restricts the promotion or endorsement of any specific religious beliefs, including those related to God. 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 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

Why isn't there any freedom of religon in public schools?

It says God's name in the pledge of allegence. i think thats rediculous. i am a catholic so i think this is very wrong. it im going to send out a law saying that public schools should say the pledge of allegence in public schools. I also think that public schools should pray and go to mass once a week. i know that catholic schools do too. this is also absolutely ridiculous. I also think that praying is the bomb dig a dig. praying and mass should be a important quiet time in your life. JUST REMEMBER TO PRAY GO TO MASS AND SAY THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGENCE!
