...Groups such as Moms in Prayer are for having prayer in schools. While the American Civil Liberties Union are against having prayers in schools. "To secure the people's right to acknowledge God according to the dictates of conscience: Neither the United States nor any State shall establish any official religion, but the people's right to pray and to recognize their religious beliefs, heritage, and traditions on public property, including schools, shall not be infringed. The United States and the States shall not compose school prayers, not require any person to join in prayer or other religious activity." Congressman Ernest Istook (R-OK). Prayer in school is a debate that has been going on since the 1960’s with the landmark case of Engle V Vitale. The case found that a school wide solicited prayer recited by the students was unconstitutional. This ruling led to other litigation where school sponsored prayer was not allowed, such as during sporting events and graduations. Those that are for prayer in school will argue that it allows for the Freedom of Religion. Will bring back morality in the schools. And will allow students to express their First Amendment Right. Those against prayer in school will argue that one religion may go against other religious views. Violating the separation of church and state. Also, students will be chastised...

...Name: Course: Tutor: Date of Submission: Prayer in Public Schools For a long time now, there have been debates on the issue of prayer on public schools. Tracing back the issue of prayer in the public school as presented in various court cases and the issue of prayer from a personal perspective shows the correct argument towards prayers in public school prayers. The first court case on school prayer can be traced in the Engel V. Vitale case that happened way back in 1962, where there was the banning of praying in public school by the Federal Supreme Court. Weiler says that this happened after parents in a public school at New York protested that the voluntary prayer at the school was not in line with their religious belief (Weiler). To spice this up, other religious groups came forward to support the parents on the same issue, which they argued that it was against the amended constitution. After a long consultation with various concerned parties and religious group, a firm confirmation was made that this was unconstitutional. Therefore, the court issued an opinion stating that there were not supposed to be prayers written by the government for recitation in the public schools. To justify this, the court stated the existence of the separation between the state and the church, where it revisited the history of the matter. Besides this, the court argued that a school prayer is a religious activity since it has the nature of a prayer. Therefore, prescribing a prayer for children...

...Position Paper Introduction Looking back over the past two hundred and seven years, every session of the United States Senate has been opened with a prayer. Doing so has reaffirmed the Senates faith that God is the Sovereign Lord of our Nation. Barry C. Black currently serves as the spiritual advisor and counselor for the United States Senate with the title of Chaplin. Over the years, this position has ranged from part time, to now a full time position (United States Senate, 2011). Ever since Engel v. Vitale, people have been upset that God has been kicked out of the classroom. Engle v. Vitale was a landmark Supreme Court case, in which it was ruled that the public school could not be started or concluded with a formal reciting of a non-denominational prayer (Bill of Rights Institute, 2010). The following information will show both sides of the argument of if prayer should be allowed in schools. Background information will be given on the history of prayer in school and prayer in congress, and my personal thoughts on this important position. Argument There are many different viewpoints on the argument of prayer in schools. We will begin with the argument of allowing prayer in schools. The United States Constitution protects religious freedom under the First Amendment. The First Amendment states that Congress should not make any law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise of religion (U.S. Constitution Online, 2010)...

...Running head: Engel v. Vitale Engel v. Vitale Introduction of Case: Engel v. Vitale (1962) went before the Supreme Court. Several families claimed that it was unconstitutional for their students, who attended a public school, to have to recite a prayer created by the New York State Board of Regents each day before class. Citation: 370 U.S. 421 Facts of the Case: The Board of Education of Union Free School District No. 9, New Hide Park, New York, mandated that a school prayer created by the State Board of Regents be recited in front of a teacher at the start of each day. “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our country. Amen” (Engel...

...Pratico Mondo per Edunet Senilità Italo Svevo Senilità Pratico Mondo per Edunet Edizione di riferimento Italo Svevo, Senilità, Milano, dall'Oglio editore, 1938 Edizione elettronica a cura del Bolero di Ravel Presentazione del 1927 Senilità fu pubblicata dapprima ventinove anni or sono nelle appendici del nostro glorioso Indipendente. Poi, nello stesso anno 1898, presso la Libreria Ettore Vram, in un'edizione ch'è ormai totalmente esaurita. Questo romanzo non ottenne una sola parola di lode o di biasimo dalla nostra critica. Forse contribuì al suo insuccesso la veste alquanto dimessa in cui si presentò. Altrimenti sarebbe difficile di spiegare tanto silenzio dopoché il romanzo Una vita, da me pubblicato sei anni prima, e ch'era certamente inquinato da almeno altrettanti difetti, s'era saputo conquistare l'attenzione di parecchi critici fra i quali Domenico Pratico Mondo per Edunet Oliva che la espresse con parole abbastanza lusinghiere. Anzi fu la lode di un sì autorevole critico che m'incorò alla pubblicazione di questo secondo romanzo, il quale fu poi ignorato anche da lui; che pur certamente lo aveva ricevuto. Mi rassegnai al giudizio tanto unanime (non esiste un'unanimità più perfetta di quella del silenzio), e per venticinque anni m'astenni dallo scrivere. Se ci fu errore fu errore mio. Questa seconda edizione di Senilità fu resa possibile da una parola generosa di James Joyce, che per me, come poco prima per un vecchio scrittore francese (Edoardo Dujardin)...

...ESPARTACO HOWARD FAST [pic] [pic] http://www.librodot.com Este libro está dedicado a mi hija, Rachel, y a mi hijo, Jonathan. Es una historia sobre hombres y mujeres valientes que vivieron hace mucho tiempo, pero cuyos nombres nunca han sido olvidados. Los héroes de esta historia albergaron el ideal humano de la libertad y la dignidad del hombre y vivieron noble y honradamente. Lo he escrito para, que aquellos que lo lean –mis hijos y los hijos de otros– adquieran gracias a él fortaleza para afrontar nuestro turbulento futuro y puedan luchar contra la opresión y la injusticia, de modo que el sueño de Espartaco llegue a ser posible en nuestro tiempo. PRÓLOGO A LA PRIMERA EDICIÓN No es tarea fácil para un autor que publica sus propias obras escribir lo que los editores llaman presentación; es decir, un llamamiento o reclamo para los lectores. Las frases altisonantes usadas en tales ocasiones surgen con mucha menos facilidad de la pluma de quien ha escrito el libro y sabe con qué esperanzas, dificultades y esfuerzos lo ha hecho. Ésta es la historia de Espartaco, que encabezó la gran rebelión de los esclavos contra la República romana en los años finales de ésta. He escrito esta novela porque creo que es una historia importante en el momento que nos ha tocado vivir. No se trata de establecer mecánicamente un paralelismo, sino de que de este episodio se puedan extraer esperanzas y fuerza, y resaltar el hecho de que Espartaco no vivió sólo para...
