a Cross in Class is a No-No!!!!!

The correspondence specifically refers to a third-grade teacher only identified as Ms. Sanroman, who reportedly has a one-foot cross sitting on a shelf in her room. Sanroman is also being accused of recently telling students that no one is perfect except for One, and that is “our Lord.” 

And again, how would a third grader know that this perfect person is someone that he or she should give their lives to?  If this Ms. Sanroman had mentioned Jiminy Cricket, would the children spontaneously sprout a conscious?  Would they know that lying was wrong?  No, and unless these children have had some background in the Gospel they likely will not convert to Christ either.
But beyond that, there is the issue of the Establishment Clause in the Constitution.  According to this atheist group, and many before it, this is the reason that the teacher should be forced to remove the Cross. 

“The Establishment Clause demands religious neutrality from all government employees, including teachers, while on the job,” David Niose, AHA legal director, said in a statement. “Non-Christian students and their families should not have to put up with Christian proselytizing in what should be a secular public school.”

But, if the schools were secular, then they by definition would be breaking the First Amendment.  At least this is the opinion of Cornell University Law School.

They wrote

The First Amendment’s Establishment Clause prohibits the government from making any law “respecting an establishment of religion.” This clause not only forbids the government from establishing an official religion but also prohibits government actions that unduly favor one religion over another. It also prohibits the government from unduly preferring religion over non-religion or non-religion over religion.

You see, to understand the First Amendment to mean anything but having to do with a State sponsored and controlled denomination, leaves all stances in legal trouble.  If you prefer a religion over another or none, or none over any, you have broken the First Amendment according to Niose’s understanding.

Rather, the first amendment guarantees Americans the freedom to express and practice their religion without interference from the federal government.  This includes but is not limited to, not being forced to pay tithes to a denomination or sect that you are not a part.  You see much like the Bible, if we detach the document from its historical context, you lose any hopes of understanding it properly.
