We need to keep the religion out of public schools. When I went to school, we had a choice, we (well our parents) could choose whether we would have study hall or be brought across the street to a church and have church school. But the school did not teach religion, did not encourage it. It was completely off the school grounds. Religion is a choice, but should not be directly related to public education. If one believes religion should be an active part of their child's education then they should enroll them in a catholic or other religious school system or take advantage of religious study groups. There are options, but for public schools there should be no teaching of religion, as this is not allowing students the option of choice. Public schools are for education, for learning. Not for religious teaching. Personally I think these (education and religion) should be kept separate. I completely agree with the Courts and do not believe bibles should be handed out in public schools.

How about sex ed? Should kids be taught that homosexual sex acts are fine, that "gay" marriage is fine, how to use condoms, where the Planned Parenthood Clinic is, and so on?
