 Letter to the Editor Grossman, Miriam English Stories Grossman Transcription and initial encoding Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

Because I love America, I will express my viewpoint about the problems created about teaching religion in the public schools. The insistence of the teaching is on Christian religion. This is mostly unfair to Americans of different religious beliefs.

It is true that in the Constitution of the United States it says there should be a wall of separation of "church and states." It really means a "separation of religion and politics and states."

If we will emphasize one religion here, America will be lost to the whole world as "America the beautiful with freedom and justice for all."

All religions must have the right to their belief, and this is how it should be. The expression should be: "Separation of religion and states" or "separation of religion and politics," because we are all Americans and made contributions to our great country.
