Not exactly. Christians USED to control everything taught in school. However they lost it by being intolerant and arrogant. Christians disrespected other groups so egregiously that when the time came, the dised groups got and are getting even. Michael Newdow is a classic example of this phenomenon. Don't take that to mean I condone his actions, I don't. But I do know that a lot of Jews growing up in public schools during the '50's and '60's got sick of Jesus being shoved up their nose and told that they were going to hell. Now the ACLU is shoving it all back at you. Christians are merely reaping what they had sown when they were on top. I think Jesus would be ashamed of you all. Christian and Jew.
BTW, "taking God out of the public square,..", the public schools are not the public square. The First Amendment does not apply to the classroom.

I read it and reread it. Where does the First Amendment exclude classrooms?
Silly me, I thought the Constitution and Bill of Rights applied to every square inch of the United States.
You are spinning so much that you must be dizzy.
The ACLU doesn't even want a HINT of God in the classroom which is why they sued against even a mere 4-paragraph statement being read ONCE A YEAR saying that there is another theory.
The ACLU sued to remove "under God" from the pledge.
My Orthodox Jewish friend, and I, as a Christian both honor God.
The First Amendment only says that there should not be an ESTABLISHMENT of RELIGION. There is NOT an establishment of religion.
Around 90% of America celebrates Christmas. It is our heritage.
