RELIGIOUS TRAINING BEST LEFT TO PARENTS, CHURCH

Most everyone will agree that in order for people to live to their fullest, they need to acknowledge God.

Our schools must recognize the importance of religion as they educate children, but in order to be sensitive and fair to all people's beliefs, schools must take an approach that is non-sectarian.

As a parent, it is my responsibility and the responsibility of my church to give my children the specific religious experience they deserve.\ Tom Kegley Christiansburg
