Religion in the School System
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page position paper discussing the issue of religion within the school system. Religion within the school system has historically been accepted until the last half century when religions within the United States became more diverse and the freedom of religious expression became more prominent. Slowly religion was withdrawn from the schools by common school advocates who believed that one system should be utilized across the country. When religion began to disappear from the school system many critics believed that the moral standards of students began to decrease and taking religion out of education resulted in many aspects of literature and history being taught out of context. In 1995, President Clinton released policies on religious expression within the public schools system which basically mandated that students were allowed to pray and discuss religions freely throughout the day and use school facilities to hold religious meetings before and after the scheduled curriculum. Public schools however were not mandated to include prayer times within the school day and those who tried to instigate such policies were opposed. If public schools are truly public however and include those who have religious affiliations but are economically not able to attend private schools, then considerations should be made for this portion of the population and reflecting all aspects of all religions should be considered allowing for prayer times throughout the school day. For those who do not wish to utilize these times for prayer, the time could be used for study while at the same time the students would be learning about other religions and religious tolerance.

Religion, Sex And Education: Review Of Two Articles
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. The ethical and moral tenets inherent to religious belief have help to guide civilized society through centuries of challenge and struggle. For those who depend upon the traditional practice to shepherd them down the path of righteousness, religion is incorporated into virtually every aspect of their lives. Indeed, the ancestral trail of religious belief spans generation after generation, with each one passing along the standards of what was important to them as a people. However, the late twentieth century brought with it a differing perspective of religion, particularly with adolescents who were of the mindset that religious dedication was passé or not applicable to their chosen lifestyles. This dissenting view has not set well within the religious community, inasmuch as critical issues – such as education and sexual relations – are being altered for the worse. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Religious Freedom: Halloween in Public Schools
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page paper assessing the case of a public elementary school actively promoting Halloween programs in the face of protests by fundamentalist Christian parents, who claim that Halloween is a pagan celebration and that they wish the principal of the school to either (1) allow their children to be insulated from what they claim is religious instruction contrary to their beliefs, or (2) allow equal time for presenting what they believe is the opposing view. The paper discusses the anti-establishment clause; Penn’s “Holy Experiment;” Good News Club v. Milford Central School; Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye v.
