Letters: Put God back in schools

Summary

The National Rifle Association has proposed setting armed guards at all schools and supplying NRA volunteers to help. Concepts surrounding the arming and training of teachers have been suggested. Putting in safety glass and locking doors from the inside of schools has failed before.

Let's go all the way to the top and just put God back into our schools. We would have a fight in Congress, and many secularists would oppose an increase of God in a public place. Yet in courts of law and public monuments, the Ten Commandments are displayed.

If you cannot trust in a God who answers prayers of faith, what can you believe in? Congress?

Teaching about God is best done in the homes. If you want an all-day religious-based education for your children, find the money to pay for a private school that focuses on faith-based teaching.

In one breath people will rant about getting the government out of their lives and in the other they'll demand that the government dictate the most intimate decisions we make. Which is it, guys?

Look, if God had wanted to, He could easily have given the shooter a massive heart attack the second he approached the school. What you're suggesting is that God did not intervene, because the kids weren't required to recite some rote, More..
