Religion in school

I don’t think you should be able to wear stuff about god on your shirt to school. I don’t think religion should be taught in school. Wearing stuff like that will be disrespectful. That is disrespectful because people might feel offended. Example if someone in your school is wearing a shirt that says, “God is the best” then someone that does not believe in god might be offended. Being taught religion in school should be excluded because this is not church or your home. It is okay to believe in a certain god but I don’t think it is okay to bring your beliefs to school.
Abington School District v. Schempp (1963) was trying to decide whether passages from the bible could or could not be read in public school or can the lords prayer be recited in the public schools. The outcome of this case was teachers could not teach religion in school. This case is known as The Day God Was Kicked Out of School.
