The 1st Amendment guarantees Freedom OF Religion, not Freedom FROM Religion. BIG difference.

The 1st Amendment Right guaranteeing that the government cannot prohibit anyone from the free exercise of their religion. That's why Muslim girls can wear their hijabs and Sikh students can wear their turbans in public schools in which headwear is otherwise prohibited, Muslim students can pray in public schools, and so can any other students of any other religion.

Ok thanks for your perspective. I see it that we should have complete seperation of religion and government. "In God we trust" doesn't belong on public school building and neither do Bible classes. If someone wants to have that they can send their children to a Christain school. No one is saying they can't educate their children at home.

If you want to go that route, Muslim girls wouldn't be able to wear their hijabs and Sikhs wouldn't be able to wear their turbans in public schools that prohibit headwear (which most do, as headwear frequently signals gang affiliation). Just try that and lefties will scream... "Bigots!" "Xenophobes!" "Racists!"

I'm talking about slapping In God We Trust on a school building saying people can interpret that how they wish. I personally feel that we should be able to call out Islam the same way we call out Christianity and I think there is some labeling of rascist over legitimate criticism. There is also a lot of 2 faced things like having a Bible study class in school but not the Koran or Torah. Would you be against having those things in public schools.

The democrats will pull back from its current radical agenda and go back to a more mainstream middle class pro union oriented platform. The republicans won't back down from conservative ideals but will also start focusing on the middle class and jobs as opposed to tax breaks for the rich.
Basically a shift to the center and going back 70 years for both parties. A win/ win any way you look at it.
