"Should the courts supervise this separation between French and Calculus?"

Is it appropriate? No, I don't think it is. However, considering the fact that I think it's far more inappropriate for schoolboards to decide that French should be taught in lieu of Calculus, I find it to be the lesser of two evils for a court to intervene.

"What evil things will happen if some school board dares to violate this?"

Look at Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Taliban-era Afghanistan to get an idea of what happens when you replace things like science and math with philosophy and belief.

Are you equaling Islamic beliefs with Christianity? When Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan had "things like science" and when did they replace them? How come that science itself was CREATED by the Roman Catholic Church in the Middle Ages? Do you think that science could exist without philosophy?
