  School Tragedies  December 21, 2012 Times Leader  Dear Editor,
I sit here tonight, 12/14/12, watching the horrific news from
Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. This is
even worse than Columbine County in the number of innocent young
children who were brutally murdered.  The evening news showed
several churches in Newtown having special memorial services.
People packed into these churches. I have a great idea that
seems like such a no-brainer. Everyone in American turns to God
when these types of events occur. Why do we not put God back in
our schools? Christians have had to take a back seat to the
civil liberty people. I ask why? Just like everyone asks "why:
when a school shooting takes place.  It makes no sense that the
majority of people pray when something like this happens, but we
cannot pray in school.  One atheist, Madalyn O'Hara, started the
ball rolling in the he 1960's to take God out of school then
government offices all over America. America was founded based
on religion. How
