Heard of separation of church and state? As far as I know schools are state run. Check the consitution.

Separation of church and state in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

for you to read up on, the seperation of church and state apears no where in the Constitution of the United States Of America. It was found later in a letter writen in 1802 by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Babtists.

to restate, the seperation of church and state is NOT in the Constitution of the United States Of America.



by the way, I do have to add, this has been one of the most civil thread in the politics forum that I have run acrost. Thank you

No, but freedom of religion (and lack of support for any one) is established there.

It looks as though the teacher in Miami is part of the educational problem as Monterey, TN has one "r" and not two. Read the Constitution of the United States and you will find you have freedom of religion and not freedom from religion. Education in the south is no better or no worse than other parts of the country. Moving from Denver to Tennessee we found that Denver schools were not light years ahead of schools here they were actually behind in several areas. There are a lot of different kinds of bigots and you are definitely a bigot when you talk about the south the way you have.
