Did you know that January 16th is Religious Freedom Day? Religious Freedom Day is a great resource for those Christian children who attend public schools. In the words of president Clinton on May 30th, 1998: "...Schools do more than train children's minds. They also help to nurture their souls by reinforcing the values they learn at home and in their communities. I believe that one of the best ways we can help out schools to do this is by supporting students' rights to voluntarily practice their religious beliefs, including prayer in schools.... For more than 200 years, the First Amendment has protected our religious freedom and allowed many faiths to flourish in our homes, in our work place and in our schools. Clearly understood and sensibly applied, it works."

According to US Department of Education guidelines:

1. Students can pray, read their Bible or other religious books, and talk about their faith at school during school hours.
