What Is Wrong With Jesus In School?

According to FoxNews, a student at Nevada's Somerset Academy was banned from using Biblical quotes in her assignment. Mackenzie Frazier used Biblical passages in her school projects, which the school stated was against the rules. Her project was titled "All About Me" and, as Miss Frazier is a Christian, she decided she would included John 3:16. Later, after her first project had been rejected, the class was given another project on the concept of self esteem. Frazier wrote that her self esteem originated from being "created in the likeness of God." Once again, her project was rejected. The school then sent an email to Miss Frazier's father. The email read that the "...[Teacher] appropriately followed school law expectations by asking Mackenzie to choose an alternate quote for the presentation." Then, Frazier's parents took action. They went to a law firm that specialized in Christian-based lawsuits. The lawyer in the case stated that students must be allowed to express their religious beliefs in schools and their classes. Not only does Somerset Academy's actions violate the first amendment, but they also acted in a morally incorrect manner. I do not understand how a school can teach the theory of evolution as absolute fact, but treat Christianity as taboo. I blame the drop in younger individuals believing in Christianity on school's actions against Christianity. If a child or teenager does not receive Christian teachings at home, then a school is the next best option, but that cannot happen, as schools seem to ban any mention of Christianity. I personally believe that both the theory of evolution can be taught alongside Christianity's belief of creationism. I am not alone either. More than half of Americans share this belief. Also, three-quarters of Americans state that they would approve of voluntary prayer in public school classes. Greater than four-fifths of United States citizens claim that they turn to God to aid in making their decisions, as well. Christianity is clearly still a powerful force in America, as it should be. Unfortunately, Christianity is still restricted, if not entirely banned in public schools. Hopefully Christianity will be acceptable in schools and various other public forums soon.
