The post that was quoted here has been removedWhat I have described is a school system drowning in litigious poo. It is a school system that is too scared to discipline a child and a school system that is too scared to utter the words "GOD". In fact, children who pray in school or even wear religious symbols such as a cross become controversial figures. I think we can both agree with these problems.
Secondly, I believe we all have an innate sense of right and wrong. All religions I know think that raping and refusing to take responsibility for children etc., is a "bad" thing. In fact, one need not be religious to know these things. Having said that, do we then need moral direction even though we have this inner voice directing us? It has been my experience that those that refuse to listen to the inner voice, for whatever reason, often dulls this inner voice to the point of it being silenced altogether.
Lets face some facts here, those who wish to teach morality must base their morals on something. So in this Godless utopia that we call the public school system, what shall we base our morality upon?
