Hi Chick,
Yes, school is the place to get an education. But, how do you feel about having clubs which hold meetings, in none teaching times, on school property? Which would you allow to hold meetings: GLBT? Chess? Muslim, Hindu, etc.? How about a Christian club? Which of these would you allow? And, which would YOU ban? Or, would you ban all outside activity except academics on school property?
Regarding your second comment -- church doors open 3 times a week. No true Christian worships God only three times a week. We worship Him 24/7/365. None of us, especially students, turn off our "spiritual self" when we participate in other activities. As a matter of fact, our "spiritual self" greatly influences how we do those other activities.
That is why it is not only desirable, but, actually imperative that our Christian, spiritual, light shine at all times, in all our activities -- especially for those governing our local communities, states, and nation. A big dose of Christian influence in our governing bodies can only make America stronger.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
