Must be at public schools in the United States to be neutral on religion, even if they were nearby to spend the Christmas holiday. Constitution separates church and state. Researcher Charles Hynes says what he says.
Says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ..."
These words are part of the sixteen how to deal with religion in our public schools. "
These words are part of the First Amendment to the Constitution which guarantees freedom of expression and other rights. Charles Haynes is senior scholar at the Center for the First Amendment to the Constitution, a group that studies issues of freedom of expression.
In the last generation or two, different groups have encouraged public schools to celebrate cultural diversity and differences. At the same time, courts have ruled against all publicly supported festivals of one religion over another.
Charles Hynes believes that schools are generally a good job.
He said. "Thus, public schools now, and I understand that its role is to expose students to learn about different religions to some extent, objective and role is to protect the right to religious freedom to the students, s if they want to express their faith, they can, but school officials under the First Amendment can not be two sides in the religion. "
Holly Jones taught six years in public schools in Loudoun County, Virginia. Every December, she had students make posters about their own celebrations at home and submit them to the class. And discuss the posters showing then on the walls of the school. Ms. Jones wrote: Some students do Hanukkah, Kwanza are some Holiday Birth. We had some in the past, not the Chinese New Year.
Some children come from families with more than one religion.
Holly Jones said children always ask lots of questions about the traditions of other families. Says it gives them to understand how different and diverse range of students.
And Charles Hynes says he is one of the goals of public education in America.
