BUT, this does not mean that Creationism should be taught in science class. ;) What is wrong with a class on bible in a high school - for students who want to take it? How is this a violation of the Constitution - someone please point me to the clause in the Constitution (don't point me to a liberal marxist judge) where it says this is not allowed. It is contrary to historical precedent. The reason all of this has happened is because the government got into the education business and public schools became govt. schools. The Constitution does not allow for the State to be the educator. Where does it say that is a function of the Federal Govt. in the Constitution? Because they delved where they do not belong, they then said any religion in schools falls under "separation of church and state" with the schools being an extension of the state.

Absolutely NOTHING, I agree with you, please see my statement again. I don't have a problem with a voluntary bible class in public schools, I never said that I did.
This is what I said, please see the part in bold.

There is much to be learned in that book. But if you want my honest opinion, our kids need to be taking mathematics, science and English classes 9 hours a day instead of Islam or Bible or Home Ec or Choir or Spanish or Italian or Basket Weaving or Audio-Video or Drama or etc.
