The intercom turns on in a classroom early in the morning and says "now guys, it's time for our prayer". Each child in the class joins hands and begins to pray respectfully. Once the prayer is over, they all go back to work and are more united together, right? This is usually not the case. Most likely, only a few children in the class join in the prayer. Most children then laugh at the others praying, breaking the bonds between the two. With the introduction of religion in school, there are more chances of debate among children resulting in violence. Three-quarters of the kids in my high school don't even recite the Pledge of Allegiance just because it says God. Public schools should have no impact on religion. Christian groups are introducing religion into high schools. The introduction of religion into public schools is becoming an uncomfortable issue for students. Last year at my public high school we had a couple encounters with this dilemma. A Christian group called Young Life was to make an appearance. There were flyers in the hallways advertising free pizza and ice cream at lunchtime if we came to the meeting. The representatives came at lunchtime the day before to walk around and promote the meeting. I didn't know anything about the group, but the pizza was free so obviously I went with a couple of friends. They put together a little video presentation about the group. At first it showed children traveling to different camps and having a lot of fun. About halfway through the video, you could see the children praying and they started talking about Christianity. I had no problem with this, except that I was the one who was tricked into coming to this meeting. My friend turned to me and said, “Wait, this is a Bible group.” I get it... halfway through the paper... Cher started to get angry and threatened to call them, the school bell rang and the two men ran out of the building. There's a time and place for religion, but public schools aren't one of them. While religion has the potential to unify some kids in school, it is not unifying for all. This leaves room for disagreement to destroy bonds between others. Once groups are separated by religion, unification as a whole is eliminated. “Religious wars generate disunity” (Museveni). If religion could be maintained in the family and community, there would be less conflict in public schools. Works Cited “Bible Distribution in Public Schools.” www. ffrf.org.
