Right. How is teaching religion in school the same as congress passing a law?
You might as well say that the constitution guarantees a right to privacy and therefore abortion has to be legal. I'll bet that's exactly what you believe. Are you sure you're in the right forum?
The Supreme Court has upheld that the first and fourteenth amendment are one of the liberties protected by the due-process clause in the fourteenth (and fifth) amendments. It meant that not only could Congress not enact a law respecting an establishment of religion, but neither could the State or local govt.

Good question I am beginning to wonder myself. I am against abortion, I am against tyranny, I am against anyone who wishes to impose their will on me or my children.
Having said that, I am against the state or local govt allowing religion to be taught in public schools. Why? Simple. I live in an area that has all sorts of religious backgrounds. If you allow the school board to teach a religion in school... it will probably NOT be the bible that is taught. I know you all mean well... but you really are going to make a mess of things if you try and turn this around.
