If teaching religion is forbidden in the classroom, why is my child taught in school about Mecca, the beliefs of Islam, and some of their practices?

Teaching *about* religions (including Christianity) is fine. Teaching in a way to *advocate* a religion (or religions) is not.

Why is the creation story of the Cheyenne taught in school, but the creation story of Christians forbidden?

You're mistaken -- it's not forbidden to describe the "creation story of Christians". It was covered in *my* public school without any problem. What *is* forbidden is *pushing* any religion's tenets, as the Dover school board was attempting to do.

mlc9852 is wrong *again*, but I suppose he must be getting used to that by now.

Lower batting average than a stopped clock.

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.
