Talk:Essay:Proposed Homeschool Constitution (view source)
Revision as of 14:55, September 27, 2008
, 14:55, September 27, 2008→Some thoughts: There shall be no religious test for student participation...
::: When no statement of faith is required (and sometimes even when one is required), it is inevitable that someone (e.g., an atheist) will try to censor the classroom prayer. Not even religious schools typically say classroom prayers any more.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 09:38, 27 September 2008 (EDT)

::::''There shall be no religious test for student participation...'' I think I see now - I originally read this to mean that the ''students'' need not sign a statement of faith. So are you intending this Constitution to be used only by Christian homeschooling groups (which in my experience usually require the ''parents'' to sign a statement of faith, at least if they take leadership positions), or do you think that secular/inclusive groups (or even groups of other faiths) will be interested in adopting this document? FWIW, all of the Christian (Protestant) and Christian (Catholic) schools I am familiar with in my area incorporate prayer throughout the school day, even though some of their students are not Christian. It is an important part of what parents are looking for in a faith-based school.--[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 10:55, 27 September 2008 (EDT)
