Please, just read below to understand what was actually said.

Christine was 100% right.

“The First Amendment does?” O’Donnell asked. “Let me just clarify: You’re telling me that the separation of church and state is found in the First Amendment?”

“Government shall make no establishment of religion,” Coons responded, reciting from memory the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. (Coons was off slightly: The first amendment actually reads “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”)

“That’s in the First Amendment...?” O’Donnell responded.

I do not argue whether O'Donnell was legally right or wrong.

It is the idea of religious instruction in gov’t run schools. Bad idea, legal or not.
