isn't the converse true...It's not the "job" of public school science classes to explain that God is not all around us?

You seem to have unfounded feelings of persecution. Just because a science lesson does not mention your particular god does not mean the writer of the lesson is denying your religious beliefs. Science deals in the natural and does not mention supernatural forces in one way or another. Scientists will say that the earth orbits the sun due to gravity, a natural force. You are free to believe in any supernatural forces as the ultimate causes of these natural forces. Teaching kids about gravity is not the same as teaching them that "God is not all around us."

Scripture interprets Scripture.

I wasn't aware that books were particular interested in interpreting themselves. I figured people had to do it, and people disagree. If you believe in religion being taught in state-sponsored schools, please explain how the religion and sect (that is, interpretation of holy books) would be decided upon. Majority rules, decided by district?

The Mayflower compact reads that a Christian nation was to be established...I would start there.

Your response failed to properly address the issue...Unlike evolution, gravity is observeable. Additionally, expirements as to gravity's existence can be repeated inumerable times with the same results. I am not aware of anyone who opposes the teaching of gravity in public school science classes.

Public school scienece classes, with their fully naturalistic evolutionary teaching, stray from science into the realm of philosophy, which is not science.
