The Importance Of Diversity In Public Schools

Religious belief among Americans today is as vigorous, dynamic and widespread as it ever has been. Which is why we need to stop being diverse. We as a nation are already diverse enough and when it comes to church and state we should draw the line and state our knowledge that diversity is not always good for us, especially when we need to all agree on something.

I believe that that is the right move and that we should not change anything. The opposing argument was that we become more diverse than we already forget the first amendment and the two clauses it stated and become one huge union. This will cause dramatic terror and consequence to us
