It means that religion has no place in the schools.

Of course this is a nonsensical statement standing on it's own. It's both a false statement and evidence of a Marxist point of view.

Merry Christmas.

I find that when someone has no ability to argue here, they just call you a liberal or a marxist.

Merry Christmas, Happy Festivus.

Your original statement: "It means that religion has no place in the schools."

My rejoinder: "Of course this is a nonsensical statement standing on it's own. It's both a false statement and evidence of a Marxist point of view."

Your amended statement after the nonsense: "I made my position clear, no religion in public schools, unless you preach all religions. So, if we teach creationism, we must teach Odin and Norse mythology."

This statement is somewhat better but not accurate. Whether you want religion in school or not is really of no concequence. The US Constitution has no problem with religion in school. It does have a problem with government actors favoring one religion above all others according to the latest jurisprudence. The courts would certainly look askance at public schools whose teachers were evangelizing one religion but the same court would be out of line in prohibiting individual students from doing the same on their own time in that same public school.

Your first statement was marxist in nature, the second statement was simply hyperbole sprinkled with some truth.

Happy New Year!
