    One congressman's view on what personal freedoms are. Bob Goodlatte plainly states his opinions on what he thinks personal freedoms are, where they come from, and what we must do to acknowledge these freedoms

    The Purpose of the United States government is to protect the God-given rights of the people, from our First Amendment rights to free speech and religious freedom, to our Second Amendment right to bear arms, to our rights to hold private property and be free of unreasonable searches and seizures. Congressman, Bob Goodlatte describes his views on personal freedoms and citizen's rights.

    This article shows that a whopping 85% of Americans believe that the words "under God" should stay in the Pledge of Allegiance. Survey also shows that much of the younger Americans support the removal: 14% (18-29 age group) compared to the 5% over 64.

    In this article it explains Obama signing the Executive Order 13738 and the reasons on why the Pledge of Allegiance is being banned. It was banned due to lack of freedom of religion.

    Banning the Pledge of Allegiance in America sounds very ridiculous to many citizens. After reading the article, I somewhat understand the reasoning behind Obama's decision however, in his own words, Obama stated his action stemmed from his personal belief. One man's personal belief should not supersede the personal belief's of a million others. On a side note, President Trump revoked this executive order on March 27, 2017.
  • coyotesfan1992 on 03 Sep 17
     
    The reason why people have a problem with it is because of the "Under God" part. I'm not sure about that park because it doesn't say which God they are talking about. I do think it would be best to keep it out of schools until the words "Under God" is removed. I think a better way to do this would have been removing the "Under God" part. Overall I do support removing "Under God" from the pledge.

    America at the Crossroads is a series of articles that examines aspects of American culture that are of concern to people of faith. For a high school student in small-town Texas, it doesn't get much better than Friday Nights. It's one of those rare instances where the attendance at a high school football game can exceed the city's population limits.

    The article talks about a book on how animals should have rights as in equal consideration. Animals have the ability to suffer as well as a human being. Why should or should not animals have rights?

    Good points. Are you vegan or vegetarian? Most animals have the ability to feel pain. Adolf Hitler stated that prey species such as deer, elk, gazelle, antelopes, etc. are healthier and can run for longer periods of time and promoted healthy eating (though he was a hippocrate and ate meat himself). When people eat meat they get tired easier, need more water, and have less energy. Without a moral foundation one can justify almost anything. Do you think Christian doctrine is to blame? After all, God told Peter to eat meat. Maybe it was the best choice in order to make peace with the gentiles and not eating meet would have made Peter look aloof. Then again, in Genesis it states that God gave mankind plants to eat and not meat. From a convenient point of view is it practical to only buy products that are not made from animals? Even makeup has animal products in it. What about shoes, clothes, purses, etc? Also, if you have time, I would suggest researching Ralph Smart. Have a good day.

    I enjoyed reading this article as well. Animals have very similar traits as humans. They eat, feel, and suffer just as humans do. Why should we strict them of their rights? Just because they do not have a voice to defend themselves does not mean we should ignore the equality they deserve.
  • lac2151813 on 29 Jan 17
     
    I loved this! Animals have such a huge place in my heart and definitely deserve all the rights as us humans do. I hate hearing stories or seeing videos posted on Facebook of animals being neglected.. I don't understand how some people can do such a thing to an animal who cannot even defend themselves. They just want to be loved and nurtured.
  • sau2124985 on 30 Jan 17
     
    The article made some great points. Animals do suffer. They feel pain and fear. Because of this, they definitely should be given rights. Like the article stated, I grew up eating meat, but have made the transition into vegetarianism thanks to my wife who is a vegan. All it took was for me to be educated on where our meat is coming from and the conditions of the animals being slaughtered. If people could read these types of articles and watch documentaries like "Earthlings" and "Cowspiracy" I am sure they might also consider vegetarianism or veganism.

    This article explains the law about saying "In God We Trust" during the pledge of allegiance. Many people believe this shouldn't be forced upon children, that religion and schools should be separate. This article explains congresses view on the matter.

This article in particular explains what the ten most major educational issues are and the reasons they are contributing to a failing educational system in America.

    I like this article, even though it does show us why the education system is failing drastically apparently we don't know how to fix it. In my opinion I feel like we should maybe look into other education systems that other countries have that have a strong education system and start going off that. I feel like this could be a god topic to have for a research paper, I will most definitively look into that more.

    Prayer has been a topic of some controversy with the public school systems in America for over 50 years, it has been federally banned other than silent prayers, and in some states it has been banned all together. This is a disgusting violation of Americans first amendment right, as well as our inalienable rights as human of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, for some prayer is a pursuit of happiness. To ban ones ability to pray in school, while they are being taught as if God were not real, is a outrageous violation of the rights of not just Christians, but Islamic folk, and people of Jewish decent. Prayer offers peace, and a hope for salvation, and a denial of such ability in a place where most students attend is an outrageous violation of our rights as humans, and as Americans.

    A constitutional right of all citizens is the freedom of religion, and praying in schools is a way of exercising that right. If praying is banned in public education, then the constitutional right to practice religion is being infringed upon.
  • Chelsea Faulkner on 04 Sep 16
     
    While religious freedoms are very important in our country we need to look at what the purpose of school is. In my opinion, schools are not morally obligated but factually obligated. This article states that you must look at the religious aspect to understand history which I completely agree. I do not remember my classes removing religious aspects from the curriculum. Is this prevalent nowadays?
  • bri2104912 on 05 Sep 16
     
    I am on the fence with this topic. I think that all Americans should have the right to pray in school but on the other hand I feel that it may be disrespectful to the third party. This is a tough topic for all people weather they are religious or not.
  • jes2173947 on 05 Sep 16
     
    America is the land of opportunity and freedom. We have the freedom to follow any religion. I think that banning prayer in schools is something that takes away from that right. If it's pray is part of the religion, why is it frowned upon and seen as disrespectful? Our country should respect and go for what it stands for.

    The Pledge of Allegiance was modified in 1954 to add he phrase "under God." this article highlights the facts that the same country that expresses freedom of religion, has this phrase in our school system, but refuses to allow Muslim students the right to pray.

    Throughout our history, America has been a land defined by religious faith and freedom. Religious freedom is our first and most fundamental, God-given right deemed so precious that our Founding Fathers enshrined it in the U.S. Constitution.

    This article discusses and gives a few examples of Christian persecution here in the United States. In the examples given, this persecution has been a result of Christians standing up for their beliefs by not providing services for homosexual weddings. These beliefs and decisions should be defended by the government as religious freedom, rather than persecuted.

    The Pledge of Allegiance timeline from 1892 to 2014 in a nutshell. According to this article the pledge was never really banned from our schools. There was however attempts to remove "under god" from the pledge. I personally would have liked my children to have said the pledge every morning at school just as I did.

    I did not know the history of The pledge of Allegiance but this is very insightful. Interesting that a Religious group also tried to declare it unconstitutional. Good find!

    For many kids the Pledge of Allegiance is just tradition at school and for others is a very important quote. It is very interesting how our pledge ask for loyalty and how our kids are learning that since they are little.
