Description of safety strategy:
Religion is no longer acceptable in school but what about spirituality? Teaching the principals of any of the religions of the world includes loving and caring about your neighbor...having a conscience and being conscientious. Kids need a firm foundation as to behavior and character, if not from home, school could do SOMETHING in this area, not matter how small.
Supposedly we have a free country, but not being allowed to mention the name of God in school shows an inherent breakdown in our system. If children are not encouraged to look to their creator and have a purpose in doing what is right, how can they develop the appropriate feelings for themselves or others?
