Editing A Moment of Silence (section)

===== 2) The U.S. Constitution mandates separation of church and state. How can religious concepts be introduced into public schools? =====
answer: This question stems from a literal interpretation, ignoring the essence of the matter. The Founders of the United States fled countries that restricted religious freedom and established a nation where everyone could freely practice their faith. They included the separation of church and state to protect this freedom. Now, this principle, meant to safeguard religious freedom, is being misused to limit the rights of parents who want their children educated in faith. Schools do not dictate the content of the moment of silence; parents provide the guidance. Thus, this does not violate the Constitution. Even if the Constitution explicitly forbade mentioning God in schools, it should be amended for the greater good of the nation. Statistics clearly show higher crime rates among individuals raised without awareness of the Creator.
