When the Christian Coalition says it only wishes to protect individual religious expression, it is not telling the truth. Individual students may express their religious beliefs now. But the public schools may not be turned into a church for a few minutes each day so that the government, or a majority of students, can impose religious ceremonies on all students. That is the right line to draw, and it is a line that the Christian Coalition wants to erase. Muslims bow to Mecca several times a day.
Pentecostals stand when praying.
Catholics and Episcopalians kneel. Bahai refuse to bow their heads. Presbyterians bow their heads. Getting the government involved in making these choices is a prescription for conflict. Either religion will be drained of all meaning in an attempt to avoid conflict or divisiveness will be inevitable.
