You are advocating teaching the narrow, literalist view of Chritianity in public schools?

You realize that we have that pesky thing called the Constitution to scrap before we can do that, right?

And where do you get that 75% of Americans believe said literal interpretation?

No. That would be up to local school boards if I was forced to keep the worthless government schools and I could somehow get rid of the US Dept of Education and the NEA.

I don't agree with your interpretation that "freedom of religion" means "freedom from religion". If the Constitution doesn't allow religion in schools, why are the schools teaching religion?

That's been reported from several polls that were posted here on FR.

Nothing in the Constitution prevents religion from being taught in any public school. Classes on Christianity, Islam, Judiasm et al are neither proscribed by the Constitution nor by the Oligarchy.
