I think it's a great idea. I will use the Chaplins in the army as my basis for this discussion. If you were ever in the military, you likely came across a chaplain in your career who had a profound effect on you, regardless of your own beliefs. I don't think it violates church and state as long as they have no authority and hold no position in the administration. They are invaluable in times of crisis. There are so many kids out there that are confused as they go through life, and their families are trash. Who do you want giving your kid crisis counseling when they need it, a person with a religious take on life's events, or some fat Rosie O'Donnell looking moron with a degree in gender studies telling your kid how to join the pre transition tramny groups online to find somewhere they fit in? If you think I'm mischaracterizing school guidance counselors, I'm not. That doesn't describe all of them, but it accurately describes the essence of the position. I pay every month for my daughter to go to a Christian private school. The kids that come out of this school are infinitely better prepared for life than public school kids. Regardless of how you feel about Christianity personally, you will not make the argument to me with a straight face that the people who embrace the Christian lifestyle aren't generally happier and live better lives than those who don't. They have better social circles and a better outlook on life. They are modest, polite, and generally ambitious. It's a solid foundation for children. If you disagree, you're just wrong. I don't care, you're wrong. And, if you think this is all just a coincidence, you're insane. I don't believe every word of the Bible, and I don't believe that Christianity has it all right, but it is by far the best way to raise your children and live your life. God is real, and while we may not exactly understand it all, there's a 0% chance that everything just kinda happens. I've had literally hundreds of events in my life that have left me with no doubt. If you don't believe that prayer works, you're just wrong. God has given me almost everything I've ever asked for. Some things I wish I hadn't asked for, and there is wisdom to be gained from that. Some things took 20 or 30 years to happen, and they happened exactly when they should have.
