Our consitution specifically acknowledges belief and prayer as a right. Guvment school administrators are legally required to maintain no-discrimination policies. The problem is that we have the guvment overstepping it's bounds with public schools. Somebody show me where in the delineated powers (article I, section 8 and the 9th and 10th amendments) that our congress has *ANY* authority to fund and support a national school system - it doesn't exist. The subtle issue, once again, revolves around dual citizenship. State citizens as opposed to federal citizens. Sovereign state citizens are not required to submit to federal jurisdication. That is how many of my libertarian friends legally abstain from paying federal income taxes and don't support this political-economical scam that has gone on for over a hundred years. Those who would trade freedom for security deserve neither - Benjamin Franklin. one more response: prayer in school. Our consitution specifically acknowledges belief and prayer as a right.

Can you settle on one blog site and stay there?

It's not government's role to teach *anything* - that's a strawman we need to torch for good. If government got out of the business of teaching, which it frankly has no consitutional authority in the first place, then the notion of teaching "Intelligent Design" fades away. I learned this as a home schooling parent. I never let the guvmet tell me how to brainwash my kids! :-) Hey Bob, I so much agree with you until the last point of teaching Intelligent Design.
