Could you please enter this letter in the Canadian Statesman so that the community community may also become aware of our concerns as teachers of Courtice Secondary Secondary School? Thank you. Yours truly, Donald B. Harnden. Dear Parents: Re: Lord's Prayer and Bible Reading in Public School Many of us, as teachers at Courtice Secondary School, anticipated the winds of change regarding the issue of the Lord's Prayer and Bible reading in public believe in or agree with our current practices." "But, the student said, "this is our country." Another teacher said, "Many of my students were reciting the Lord's Prayer with me and now it is gone." What should disturb us now is where will this line of reasoning lead us? Inseparable Inseparable from our Judeo-Christian heritage is Christmas and Easter. How long will it be before these festivities of Joy and Hope also become an imposition? There will be no more Christmas Carols on the P.A. systeip and no more nativity scenes in the hall display cupboards.

Similarly, it entices a syndrome syndrome of Russian Roulette with values in education. Should we continue to sing, "O Canada, we stand on guard for thee"?

A while ago it was encouraging encouraging to hear a principal read an appropriate Bible passage followed by a personal personal prayer for the family of an injured girl and the family whose son was killed in the same accident while on their way to our school. We will no longer have that due to the ruling. How can we as teachers encourage students to not use profanity or other vulgar conversation now that the commandments can no longer be read?
