"Under the Constitution public schools are entitled to teach anything that is reasonably related to the goals of preparing students to become engaged and productive citizens in our democracy."

It's been a while since I've read it but I don't remember anything in the Constitution about 'public schools' or 'teaching'.

Sure your honor and I can't wait for the day that a teacher decides that the 10 commandments are necessary for the students to learn morality. I'm certain that you will likewise rule that whatever the school deems appropriate is fine. Yeah, right.
