[Ophiucus]

You wrote the meaning of the Constitution (mostly) correctly, but you totally misunderstood what you wrote.

If a legislature passes a law banning the teaching of evolution OR requiring the teaching of a religious precept like creation of ID, it is violating the First Amendment by both requiring the teaching of one sect's religious views and by favoring one Christian sect over others.

According to the Constitution, only the congress would be prohibited. State legislatures are not prohibited, but rather have the power to set educational and religious standards for their respective states, should they choose to do so.
