Sorry, I missed this one last night.

****Under our form of government, we elect representatives. They make the “informed” decisions. I see no limit on where they should be denied the right to include religious beliefs, NOR EXCLUDE them from the discussion!

From that article:

"Jindal ignored those calling for a veto and this week signed the law that will allow local school boards to approve supplemental materials for public school science classes as they discuss evolution, cloning and global warming."

Note that geology is not on that list. You're arguing that we cannot exclude creationism from that subject.

I'm not arguing. I am accepting the wisdom of the Founders, who put no such limits.

Do you not accept the premises posited by our Founders?

Well there's a silver lining. Global Warming is a very young theory that has been pushed to prominence too soon by politics and money. There is still a lot of SCIENTIFIC opposition to it -- specifically there are other purely scientific explanations for any warming. Thus if GW is taught in schools (it shouldn't, as it's not been properly vetted yet), then other scientific opposition should be taught.
