Religion in public schools and the Patriot Act

The second issue that threatens American culture and political life is the Patriot Act. Section 215 of the Patriot Act says that “The FBI need not show probable cause, or even reasonable grounds to believe, that the person whose records it seeks is engaged in criminal activity. The FBI could be “spying” on anything such as mail, phone calls, websites visited, and books taken out of a library without anyone’s knowledge. s in Georgia are having debates whether to teach evolution or creationism in a science classroom. Creationism is not backed up by facts, but is just a belief while evolution is supported by facts. If the Patriot Act is allowed, our fourth amendment rights are compromised. If the schools are paid for with taxes, there can’t be religion. Prior to the Patriot Act, the FBI had the authority to arrest anyone whom it had probable cause to believe has committed or is planning to commit a crime.

Religion in public schools and the Patriot Act are two issues that threaten American culture and political life. Also, prior to the Patriot Act, the FBI has the authority to engage in surveillance of anyone whom it has probable cause to believe is a foreign power or spy. Both of these issues are unconstitutional and are a threat to American culture. Eventually, there will be a religious civil war and the US will have a religious war like the one Ireland has now. Congress changed its views because they were scared about another terrorist attack. Having religion in public schools goes against the first amendment and is therefore unconstitutional. As citizens of the United States, we pay taxes to the government which establishes public schools which are run according to the United States Constitution.
