Speech by a Teacher Teachers in Public
Introduction
Teachers in public schools are not permitted to invoke specific Biblical theories, parables, or otherwise invoke the word of God – either denominationally or generally – in their classes. The constitutionally imposed rule – separation of church and state – is widely considered appropriate and important to the American democracy within the secular and legal community.
Moreover, the rules of public schools make it clear that it is psychologically, morally, constitutionally and socially unacceptable to stealthily (or otherwise) attempt to interject God's word or God's prophets' narrative into an educational setting.
But a competent, alert and effective Christian teacher today need not break those rules in the process of presenting information God would approve of. Why? That is because there are values that God has emphasized in the Holy Bible that can be presented to students without ever identifying them as having come from God Himself. Some of the values – in particular, justice – will be reviewed in this paper. Justice, after all, is a universal value albeit there are myriad interpretations of justice.
