25 August 2004Lois K. Solomon, education writer for The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports on the controversy caused by Geoff McKee, principal of Boca Raton High School. McKee, a devout Baptist who does not believe in evolution, has angered some parents and teachers by his frequent religious references in staff meetings and his attempts to start a Bible class for students. "'I don't think there's anything wrong or unconstitutional with acknowledging God in public,'" said McKee. "'The president talks about God frequently.'" A spokesman for the National Association of Secondary School Principals told Soloman that the guidelines for separating religion and public education were unclear, and that the key factor is "how much religion the community is willing to tolerate." "'He can go as far as he wants until a parent decides he's gone far enough.'"
