Let Freedom Ring |
No Mandatory School Attendance with Church/State SeparationThe ballyhooed concept of separation of church and state cannot require mandatory public attendance in state run schools and not suppress religious freedom. Separating the two is a modern concept. Historically, religion and government were identical; they were the same entity, but as differing cultures came together, as they did in the United States, a need came about to differentiate and separate the various societal dogmas and form a government based on universal religious principles, and this is called secular humanism. Presently, an effort is underway to entirely crush all mention of religions in schools and to eliminate it from the general society, and the source of this move is an educated element in the society; the legal profession. An eliminating of religion from government empowers this class of individuals, for it is they who have taken on the defining of moral values, through laws and regulations, where this had formerly been the role of the church. The Founding Fathers created the 1st Amendment Establishment Clause to prevent one religion from shutting out other religions and dominating the society, but does the censoring of all religion, even the underlying concept of God, amount to anything more than the legal profession declaring itself as the undisputed heir to the "throne", defining it's own value system (essentially "if it feels good, do it") as the only acceptable values, shutting off the voice of contrary religions? For churches and differing moral beliefs to be separated from government and not have a singular ideology dominating the others, a mandatory state school system must be prevented. While parents are presently free to send their children to a non-public schools, they are not exempted from paying for the public education, being required to pay twice for one education. The government thus grants freedom of religion by word, and denies it by deed. Ultimately, the legal profession has eliminated the competition, giving themselves a monopoly over moral values, their own "Deacons" in the courts denying the people their former right to regulate moral values, and giving themselves a monopoly for instructing children of the wrongness of their parents responsible attitudes toward regulating sexual activity for preventing children from being wrongfully born into the world, undesired by one or both parents, and with no contractually secure childhood.. Ultimately, the people must take back the government that is rightfully theirs, not of an educated minority, and overturn the absurdity of a separated state from religion, or limit the role of government to that of a caretaker for the various religions and other private groups.
