"First off its not your school or mine to be owned. Its everyones public school. Hence the name PUBLIC. In the Constitution our most cherished document it mentions nothing of god or Christianity. Plain and simple. If you want god in schools you got it. You have Christian Private Schools, Muslim private schools, Jewish private schools, and many other private schools. America is a freedom of religion, this nation was founded on good human values that lie within most major religions. So please dont force your values on my family as long as they are in PUBLIC school. keep your values within the private schooling system. If I want my kids praying to god on a daily basis I will send them to church ,"the house of god". So as many of the founding father were christian they didn't want to force their beliefs on the rest of the free nation. Freedom of Religion does not mean Christianity."

Then I want all the taxes I have paid and my parents paid into everyone elses public schools that I nor any of my brothers ever attended. Don't give me for the good of society arguement either. The public school system has its exceptions but for the most part is another failed government run institution. The schools should be given back to the communities, run and funded by those communities without the federal government involved. You want your child to go to a good school then the people in that community with school children should pony up and hire accomplished educators and fund their childs school and education. Stop the taxing. If your childs education is important to you, you will find a way and pay for it out of pocket. If you cannot afford the cost of funding a childs education then for the good of society, have a little personal restraint and don't have any until you can afford it. I'm not saying nobodys allowed to have children. just do it without deferring the cost of raising the child to the taxpayers. I believe all schools should be privatized and competition will bring about a better education at a lower cost for all. How bout the Florida Lotto that was supposed to pay for public education. Still the majority of my taxes go to fund gang riddled public schools that nobody in my family has ever attended. My family is not wealthy, we prioritize education above cars, jewelry and other material BS.
