Religion in the Public Schools?
By Elton Camp
Religious zealots can be cause for alarm
Put them in charge and there’ll be harm
Their dream is to use the public schools
To indoctrinate our kids with church rules
Why, these fanatics will even dare
To advocate imposing forced prayer
Of course, it must end “in Jesus’ name”
Though some may not believe the same
The Bible they want the school to read
To reading the Koran they’d never accede
Try the Book of Mormon, they’d have a fit
As you’d expect from a religious hypocrite
What right have they to impose their view
Set themselves as judges of what is true
Their arrogance is exceeded by their gall
“We’re extremely righteous,” they will call
Church schools their children should attend
In public schools, religious liberty extend

Some good points Elton, I don't believe in religious schools at all as they are divisive. People of all religions should attend the same schools.

Garry, I agree. Religious schools are common in the USA. They typically teach children not to think, but to accept blindly the teaching of the church that owns them. We sent our daughter to the public schools. Elton
