Here are just a few excerpts from the U.S. Secretary of Educations webpage and guidelines he has set forth. I encourage you to visit this website and read over these guidelines and how they may apply to this situation. Official neutrality regarding religious activity: Teachers and school administrators, when acting in those capacities, are representatives of the state and are prohibited by the establishment clause from soliciting or encouraging religious activity, and from participating in such activity with students. Teachers and administrators also are prohibited from discouraging activity because of its religious content, and from soliciting or encouraging antireligious activity.Religious literature: Students have a right to distribute religious literature to their schoolmates on the same terms as they are permitted to distribute other literature that is unrelated to school curriculum or activities. Schools may impose the same reasonable time, place, and manner or other constitutional restrictions on distribution of religious literature as they do on nonschool literature generally, but they may not single out religious literature for special regulation.

ReplyDeleteexcellent glow/blog---i've been here before. Meanwhile, schools are schools &
ReplyDeletechurches are churches. US Constitution provides there be no 'establishment' of
a state-sponsored Religion. So---public schools cannot expressly allow one religion over several dozen others[or deny alltogether the same]. Too bad Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, Buddha et alia didn't appear to Jefferson & Madison at the
Constitutional Conventions.
