Sure, citizens of the US have the perfect right to express their religious beliefs if the desire to do so. But they cannot teach them to a class of public school children as fact. Why is that so hard to understand?
Anyone who wants religion to be taught in school will be quick to change their minds when they find out that it's someone else's religion that will be taught instead of theirs.
It exists in teh Country I live in, Canada, even though government is supposed to be secular. We have public funding and gov't run Catholic schools across the nation. There is no justification for such overt preferential treatment of one church within one religion. But the politicians are a bunch of chicken-shits to change it. So I have to pay for the public endorsement of the Catholic faith whether I like it or not. Religion should be private and gov't should stay out of the religious business.
The separation of church and state means that schools can't endorse a religion or force students to pray. I agree with the separation of church and state and I also think that students should be allowed to express their opinions, religious or not, as long as they don't interfere with learning.
Religion is a personal preference, not a fact. And you can't be foreced to teach someone else's preference in a public school classroom.
And honestly, I think it's awful that private schools are allowed to teach that to children.
If I raised a child up to think that there was a flying spaghetti monster in the sky who created everything with his noodly apendage, the kid would believe me.
Not because it's true. Because that's what it learned, and that's all it knows

Absolutely not.
