"creation story of Christians". It was covered in *my* public school without any problem

Again I ask (though not of you specifically) , in what year? You CAN'T say the word Jesus in school, at least in Connecticut, in 2006.

I grant you that the establishment clause has been interpreted much too strictly, especially against Christians.

However, the Dover decision is one instance in which our courts got it right.

My daughter attends a public high school. One of the questions she has to answer as part of her homework tonight is: "What are considered the three basic teachings of Jesus?" Even a die hard atheist could provide the "correct" answer without being offended or phoning up the ACLU. I would not be offended either, if the school came up with better questions that did not reference Jesus at all. Guess it's one of the benefits of living in a red state.
