Actually LH, you are correct. What you miss is the next step in the logic. Public schools are an arm of the government. Teaching religion in the public schools is the government teaching (i.e. establishing) a religion.The first amendment speaks of freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion.
That is why private religious schools are permitted in this country. The government does not and should not endorse one religion over another.
btw...the school board in Pennsylvania that tried this?....all were voted OUT yesterday.
