By “state” I meant any schools that were not private. When you tell children that God is going to punish them, rather than the laws of man, this is clearly a threat to anyone who does not profess that particular God. And this includes children of atheists who may then be worried for their parents and their own safety.
So, getting children to think on things is dangerous and wrong because it might be inconvenient to the way the children are being raised? One might suggest homeschooling for those who would insulate their children from reality.
BTW, I didn't see where you found the separation of Church and Stae in the Constitution or any of its Amendments - finding that gem would certainly add credence to your slant on how things should be. I'm for letting them learn all sides of issues, especially big issues, and be taught to develop their thinking and reasoning capabilities. It seems so much more useful than insulating them from what makes the world go 'round and keeping them from developing mature coping skills. I work around the product of doing it the Leftists way (finding non-existent rights in the Constitution and manufacturing Constitutional constrictions which also don't exist) and they are over sensitive, self-serving, immature globs of flesh that, when corrected, use coordinated, vindictive attacks to preserve their fantasy world that tells them they are useful and worthwhile just because they exist. I fear for what has happened to my military...
