Your interpretation of constitutional rights seems to be the problem here. There is no teaching of religion in public (government run) schools, but at the same time the military isnt going to show up and blow your teeth out of the back of your skull for practicing the wrong religion. You're free to practice any religion or none at all without fear of sanctioned persecution, but that doesn't mean the entire country is your personal venue to rant about some highly buoyant israelite.
If you can convince me of some practical, valuable reason for teaching religion in schools, I'd reconsider my stance, but considering there isn't any, I think you're gonna have a hard time doing it.

I actually agree Pagan. Do we really want the public school system teaching our kids about Religion. Most of these teachers are nothing but tenured HAX bleeding the system. The last thing I want is some liberal asshat trying to tell my kid how great Islam is. Definitely agree bro.
I do support religious freedom, and if you want to pray on school grounds or if you want to have a voluntary bible club that meets in a school classroom I'm completely fine with that too.
