DAVID MARCUS: Forgive me, but I was wrong about school prayer

The battle ends prayer In schools, currently raging in Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton Vows to defend any school district that introduces controversial practices in recent state laws that expand religious expression in education.

I was very old throughout my life, and it seemed to be the constitutional science of settlement due to the 1962 Supreme Court ruling that prohibited public schools sponsored prayers.

In the past, I agreed with this form Separation between the Church and the Country. To me, it’s almost a safer issue than the rights of a few religions, and importantly, I think Christian moral values ​​are so deeply rooted in our culture that 30 seconds of prayer can be abandoned.

Lord, I was wrong.

In fact, the ban on prayer in schools is just a broader effort to remove God from the public square. The clear, clear misinformation is that God has nothing to do with public affairs or education.

This is exactly how you can work with D-Va. Senator Tim Kaine met in the way he said in the congressional hall Wednesday that it was “greatly disturbing” to believe that our rights came from our creator, even if his Virginia Thomas Jefferson made the concept a cornerstone of the entire American experiment.

Perhaps, if Kaine spent 30 seconds praying every morning, or even just paying attention to the daily prayers of Congress, he would remember that this is the God we trust.

As far as education itself is concerned, prayer played a key role throughout Western history, or we dare say it is the Christian world. At least until 63 years ago.

Here we can call Thomas Aquinas, not Catholic saints, but one of the most important medieval academicians and medieval teachers in the medieval era at the University of Paris in the mid-13th century.

Aquinas prayed in prayer for students, asking the Holy Spirit to “pour your talents on my dense intelligence, dissipating the darkness, sin and ignorance that covers me. Give me a harsh understanding of thought, preserved memory, method and simplified learning…learning…”…”

Aquinas learned long ago that the purpose of school prayers is to humbly recognize our own limitations and to ask the creators we detached from to guide us.

Fast forward to 2025, our public schools are designed to be atheistic, but atheism is not a neutral religious philosophy, not just a lack of religious belief. It implies a purely physical understanding of the world, an assertion that is no more proof than religion itself.

Today, we are educating through artificial intelligence. There is no reason to let children read because we tell us that AI will bring their imagination to life.

Although Aquinas insists that we must work hard to overcome our intellectual shortcomings and ignorance, AI is just an immediate satisfaction with the plate.

Part of the reason the founder did not designate the United States as a Christian nation is that it seems to have nothing to say. In their days, English speakers have been Christians for a thousand years.

The concept that constitutional makers want to avoid encountering Christianity within the motherland, rather than avoiding Christianity from public life, seems ridiculous to them.

Praying the Lord’s prayers at school every morning, asking God for forgiveness, forgive others, and avoiding laziness and temptations such as evil (such as drug use or hatred), makes students not only learn but also become American citizens.

Without God and prayer, Kane is absolutely right: our rights are nothing more than a piece of paper, shocked by powerful mortals. In England, it might be good, where they arrest people with mean tweets, but never in the United States.

This is by no means a strengthened prayer on the Lord’s behalf by the Jews, Muslims or atheists who live on the basis of Christian understanding of morality.

This Christian morality is deeply rooted in American DNA. Why can’t you have seven wives? Because Christianity forbids it. How can the nuclear family become a model of democratic government in the West? It is raised by the church.

Throughout my life, the efforts to expel religion from official and public litigation have gone too far and we can feel the loss. This is a large part of what we see as religious revival happening, especially when young Americans become Catholics.

It is not too late to solve this lack. Sixty-five years are part of Western history. It was the wrong turn before, and now, with Texas leading the way, we can return to what Western education has always been and what it has to always be, not only for ourselves, not only for our society, but for God himself.
