I'll tack this on, at the risk of flames. And I'll say up front, this is coming from a Christian, a Sunday school teacher and the parent of children who are enrolled, at great expense that we really can't afford but somehow with the help of God are making it happen, in a private Christian school. I do not think, at least from a prostlyzation or evangelical standpoint, Jesus SHOULD be discussed in public schools. Not because I or the Mrs. or my kids are ashamed of Jesus, or because of anything to do with the First Amendment, but because quite frankly the reality of the year 2005 is that there's no guarantee that the person prostlytizing or evangelizing on Jesus from the teacher's desk is going to be a good Baptist/Methodist/Lutheran/Presbyterian/Catholic or whatever, and I prefer to know a little bit about the theology of people who discuss religion with my children before letting them have that access.

And I'd really rather that last post have not come up with that number. :)

And that was not what I was suggesting we should do.

I was saying it's lame to tell a teacher she can't share her religious convictions, only to have her teach/read something in complete opposition to it.
