Why is it a lie? Sorry, but people don't just believe what you say because you say it. Also, why are our schools 'failing' and 'corrupt'?
When religion was taken out of the schools,
Sorry, what was that? Religion is in Churches, Learning is in Schools. Try again, troll.
due to our misreading of the constitution,
Once again, what was misread, and how was it misread?
all hell broke loose.
Define hell. Or is it that School was hell for you, and you never could figure out how to be a socialite apart from like-minded people (who even attribute what is in your toilet to God and not your digestive processes?)
Kids are afraid to walk the hallways,
Define. WHO's kids, why are they afraid, and what is bringing Bible-thumpers to day long prayer-fests going to do to help it? Aside from making school "hell" for Catholics, Buddhists, Sikhs, Pagans, Hindi, Atheist, Jews, etc.
drugs rampant,
Oh really? According to the Office of Applied Studies* drug use among teens in general has gone down. Common logic also dictates that students will use at home and not in a policed, public enviroment like a school. Only those utterly screaming for help (and not being helped by parents) would use in public. But then you lack common sense from a quick reading of your post.
sex is everywhere
Sex is life and life is sex. Without life, there would be no sex -- without sex, there would be no life. Hormones drive people to mate, and only education from parents and teachers can prevent unintended consequences. What do you think people were doing all that time in the Hay Loft of your great-great-grandparents barn? Why do you think the folding back seat of cars in your great-grandparent's generation was called a "rumble seat"? SEX. Now if you can not tolerate the fact your parents had sex to produce you, "Mr. Itchypants" then do the world a favor: cut your dick off and die childless. As we all know someone as ignorant, biased, and closedminded as you will only fail at the job of creating well adjusted children in todays society.
and this country is goin to hell in a handbasket.
Define. Oh, and show me why you are such a poor speller. Could it be you sat around in a group discussing Jesus instead of studying? Also, show me how Bush (the conservative, Bible-bashing hero) has made this country any better by turning it into a near police-state?
Bring back prayer and I guarantee it will get a lot better.
Always get a guarantee in writing. Problem is, prayer in school happens. It never left. Students pray in corners to themselves all the time. What you want isn't a return of prayer, you want prayer to be forced, coerced. Eventually leading to the outcasting of "non-Christians" (translation: anyone who believes any different than you, even if they call themselves Christian and follow Jesus' teachings which you sir DO NOT.)
Why is it a bad thing to let creation be taught in school?
Wait, you want creation to be taught in school? Okay, do like Bush and gut the Sex-Ed program. I 'guarantee' you there will be a sharp increase of students learning about creation. Only... in the bathroom, not the classroom. (As an aside, the offical teaching of Genesis excludes other religions, and as a tax-payer, I want my religion included too. Thus, you should learn about the Flying Spagetti Monster, and his Noodly Creation.)
Since there is no time to include every religion, we do the best thing possible. We teach Science since it is universally accepted and needed for College entrance. Save the religion teaching for the home and the church. Oh, wait! THERE'S the issue! You aren't being taught by your parents! THAT'S why you want it in school, because this generation's parents are negelent of their duty.
Science and Religion are one in the same, it is a belief and that is what religion is.
Wrong. Science is fact, learned by trial and error. Religion is a belief in all-powerful being(s) which by their nature can not be proven. Proof denies faith, and without faith, God is nothing. QED.*
The same as atheism. Without religion there can be no science.
Atheism isn't the same as science, nor is it the same as Christianity. (Of which you call 'religion' but that really is a blanket term for ALL religions, not just yours) Atheism is being wholly unconcerned with afterlife, God, Churches, etc. Atheism is a lack of religion, just like white is the absence of colour or colour pigmentations. On that note, Gnostism is like black, all colours mixed, (or hyperpigmentation.)
So, care to reply? Be a man and admit your wrongful mistakes -- after all, Jesus did.
