Folks do realize that Seperation of Church and State are not in the Constitution don't they?

I think it should be a religions of America Class and the amount of instruction on each Major Religion should be corelary to the percentage of the population that is a particular religion. For instance Muslims make up about 0.9% of the population. So if the course were 100 days you'd spend a little less than a day discussing that faith....

Which works out great to get an in-depth look at whatt the majority of them are already exposed to. But education is at least partly to prepare kids for what comes next. If you're going to discuss religions and spend 1% of the time talking about a religion 22% of the world practices, you aren't preparing them for much outside their own box.
