This petition is meant to allow prayer and/or Bible reading to be legal in the public schools once again. The principals, teachers, and staff members of the schools will be given the choice to either allow regularly scheduled prayer and/or Bible reading or not.
The first amendment of the Constitution states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." This would not be "establishing a religion"; this would simply be giving us the freedom of religion. People that oppose or disagree with the practice of prayer and/or Bible reading are not compelled or forced to participate, and they may be excused from the room or assembly at that time.
When school prayer was outlawed, evangelist Billy Graham summed it all up, saying, "This is another step toward the secularization of the United States. [...] The framers of our Constitution meant we were to have freedom of religion, not freedom from religion."
If you agree with this petition and would like to see our public schools gain freedom of religion once again, please sign this. I am sure that you will be blessed. Many Christians want this to happen, but it is never going to happen, if we dont do something about it!
