State lawmakers reignite school wars over religion

Contrary to culture-war mythology, God is alive and well in many, if not most, public schools.

Visit almost any school in America and you’ll find students sharing their faith, reading their scriptures, saying grace before lunch and, in high schools, meeting in religious clubs.

But in a growing number of state legislatures around the country, lawmakers want more.

Barred by the U.S. Supreme Court from turning the clock back to the days of state-sponsored prayers and devotional Bible reading, state legislatures are discovering creative new ways to get more religion through the schoolhouse door.
