Separation of Church and State Wrongly Taught in a Religion Class?! What?

My religion teacher taught his class that the education system in America is a branch of the Government... Hmm I guess I missed that Article of the Constitution last time I read it. He then so egregiously miss applied a scripture from the 132 Section of the Doctrine and Covenants on the role of government, that anyone in the class who hasn't made a serious study of the proper role of government as established by inspiration through the Founding Fathers, probably thinks that it is a good thing that the government continues to make it more difficult to pray and otherwise acknowledge and honor God in schools; we must keep the separation between church and state you know...

It is little wonder that those who wish to eliminate God and Christianity from society are having so much success when we are being taught such flagrant principles. We have been fooled into thinking that religion and the demonstrations of a religious life should be kept entirely separate from public life. We have even been conditioned to be hyper-sensitive to not being perceived as an advocate for religious views and practices in public.

The Lord needs a people who are willing to demonstrate the signs and blessings of those who believe so clearly that you leave no doubt in those around you that you are a disciple of Christ, even as a city set on a hill. This must be us! We must be advocates of the Lord and His work. We must be living witnesses of the power and blessings that come to those who follow Christ. We can never do that if we buy into this false interpretation of separating Religion/Church and State/public life.

Don't forget your daily dose of Music!
