| Message | ~OFFICIAL LCC STATEMENT~ We would like to point out that we do believe in separation of church and state! but we also believe that the national government has too much influence in schooling. Article 2 is repulsive to us. Teachers have the freedom to pray in class, and if kids don't like it, they'll report the teacher, and they'll be fired if the school does not want that. Basically, the government shouldn't have a say here. |
