The National School Chaplain Association does not need to dispute the “separation clause” because George Washington established chaplaincy before the U.S. Constitution was written. Chaplaincy is an essential bulwark of religious liberty in public institutions, and is a well-established precedent.
This will be of interest to senators, congress, representatives, lawyers, school district superintendents, parents, teachers, school boards, churches, mental health providers, marketplace corporations, charitable foundations and general public.
This is important because children depend upon adults who truly want to discover all the aspects of debatable topics. Squabbles can be swapped for attaining the bottom line solutions for all involved. Being willing to see what has been missing is how innovation and breakthrough come to light with collaboration.
Engaging with a school chaplain is a choice. The availability of chaplains to public school students is not an “establishment” of religion. Therefore, in the absence of coercion, there is no Establishment Clause violation. The Free Establishment Clause protects the right to express ones faith voluntarily.
One of the most important piece of information the article tries to convey is that the school experience can be stressful, evidenced by increasing violence, depression and escalating suicide rates among young students, plus teacher burnout. NSCA asserts that the schools deserve the same holistic chaplain care that is already provided in other governmental and public sectors. The best example of this is perhaps found in the following extract:
'Separation of Church and State’ is not in the Constitution or Bill of Rights. The wall of separation was in a letter from Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist Association in regard to keeping the government from mandating a state church. '
In discussing the article's creation, Dorothy Kozar, Editorial Contributor, Speaker and author of this article at National School Chaplain Association said:
""Since the implementation of school chaplains began, the students, school staff and the community have only experienced a positive impact for wellbeing. For example, Texas district superintendents have written letters of recommendation based on their schools’ positive measurable outcomes after employing school chaplains."."
Regular readers of National School Chaplain Association will notice the article takes a familiar tone, which has been described as 'nonconfrontational, currently relevant and timeless with insight that compels a fresh look for a deeper perspective, and a call to action. '.
National School Chaplain Association now welcomes comments and questions from readers, in relation to the article, as they are intent on having an exchange of ideas that may otherwise go undiscovered.. The reason is simply because together, a better and more comprehensive impact can be developed that would otherwise be lost due to unnecessary barriers..
