Yet another case where the "religionists" are trying to supplant secularism, the proper course for public schools, with teaching carrying a religious persuasion. Religion is personal and individual, or even practiced in a religious institution with like believers. It is NOT to be extended into public schools or teaching. The sooner we keep religion personal, and not try to inculcate others with faith-based teaching, the better off we will all be.
Practice all the religion you want, in your mind, in your home, with your family, in your church or synagogue, or mosque, or not at all, but NOT in schools, or in innappropriate settings that are best kept secular. I believe you have the right to practice your religion personally, without reservation, as long as what you do is legal. I don't believe my children or grandhildren should have to be exposed to faith-based teaching of any type, except in religiously-based settings and institutions, built, owned, and managed for those purposes.
