Pushing for a theocracy, eh? Going to overthrow the constitution while you're at it?

Like pushing for laws to silence Christians isn't in violation of the Constitution?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

If creation is part of a religion, then prohibiting the discussing of it is preventing the free exercise of that religion and therefore is unconstitutional.

Why do the evos feel the need to sue any conflicting opinion out of the picture? Why the jackbooted thug tactics? Why the attempt at mind control to make sure the kids think the "right" thoughts?

Where in the Constitution does it say that the federal government has any business in the local schools? I can show you where the states have the rights not delegated to the federal government.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

This comes from the original United States here...(The Articles of Confederation.

Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States, in Congress assembled.

The Articles also state this...

And Whereas it hath pleased the Great Governor of the World to incline the hearts of the legislatures we respectively represent in Congress, to approve of, and to authorize us to ratify the said Articles of Confederation and perpetual Union.

What was our initial government? A theocracy?
