The first amendment states this:
"The civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious belief or worship, nor shall any national religion be established, nor shall the full and equal rights of conscience be in any manner, or on any pretext, infringed."
I believe that teaching any religion in public school would infringe on this right.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
This is more important. If we allowed only Christian teaching in public schools, it would clearly violate this clause.edit on 30-8-2011 by sheepslayer247 because: (no reason given)

We are at war. A scruffy little grass-roots movement, just wanting smaller government and a return to personal responsibility.
We don't want big government. We don't need program after program after program. Personal responsibility. To yourself, to your family.
An analogy I like to use is this; imagine a person with a broken leg.
The Tea Party would like to see the person go to physical therapy, use crutches, a cane, then walk on their own. It'd be painful. But the patient would learn to walk again, and become self-reliant.
The progressives want to give the person a wheelchair (bought by someone else). They don't want the person to go through the painful process of rehabilitation. They want that person to stay in the wheelchair until the legs have atrophied to a point where they CAN'T leave the wheelchair. They want that person to be dependent. They want that person to NEED them.
Therefore, the war. They will fight for every needy person, every dependent person, because without them, their own existence can't be justified.
Just my take on it.

Tea Party Protesters…
Where were you when Worst President Ever BUSH Stole the Presidency in 2000 and in 2004?
BUSH was NOT elected by the people by popular vote….
Al Gore actually had more popular votes than Bush.
Tea Party Protestors DID NOTHING!
Prior to BUSH being INSTALLED as president by the Supreme court, who refused to let the Florida votes be recounted, BUSH was caught on a video BRAGGING how he will win the State of Florida and stated to a reporter ‘YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!” (you can see this in the movie Fahrenheit 9/11)
That is because he already knew the votes would be RIGGED by Brother Jeb Bush and Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris.
How? By throwing out and removing thousands of votes in Black Neighborhoods.
One Million Black Votes Didn't Count in the 2000 Presidential Election It's not too hard to get your vote lost -- if some politicians want it to be lost www.commondreams.org...
