Not only is this idea morally repugnant , it seems that it violates the law that separates church and state.

I want to protect children in public education from religious agendas of uninformed people who don't appreciate the value of freedom. This proposal is antithetical to educating children to think for themselves and welcome those who aren't exactly like themselves.

It is not possible to accurately define the subpopulation of school children under consideration, and is discriminatory to determine the religious behavior through a government intervention. This bill creates conflict between parents' control over their own children and the' duties and obligations of public schools. It also creates a struggle between school vs religious leaders. There are no evidence in existence that demonstrate any benefit of the proposed practice on the intellectual or character development of school children.

The public school curriculum is already overloaded with course material that cannot be adequately taught during normal school hours. Religious education if deemed to be important, should be taught after normal school hours or on Sunday as is the norm. Private and parochial school is of course an option.

It sounds like someone wants to do the job of parents....teaching values. Instead of trying to indoctrinate .live your life as a positive role model and mentor in the schools.

Public schools are for the education of all children and their precious time should not be used in a manner that creates any sense of division or differences amongst our children.

Our public school system is not the proper place for religious education, regardless of the religion.

The use of public school minutes for (evangelical Christian) religious education is un-American and unacceptable.

I am against the idea of any organized religious education in our public schools. I am for separation of church and state.
Separation of Church and State - enough said.
