When Are Faith and Religion Allowed in Public Schools? I struggle sometimes with how to help my public school students without being able to talk to them about my faith. I know a relationship with God would help so many of them. I just try to be the best example I can and hope that is enough. This is the cry of so many Christian teachers’ hearts – an understanding that our students need Christ but the realization that we cannot openly share with them the truths that could change their lives. But what if I were to tell you that religious discussions are not quite as taboo as you might think. That, in fact, it is legal to teach about religion in the public school as long as you do it in an academic matter and don’t try to convert your students. And that those legal, academic conversations may open doors for God to work in students’ lives in ways we never imagined. ( We talk more about how small conversations can impact students for eternity in this post here .)
