This is something I posted somewhere else, take a moment to read the question and take time to think about your answer.
""Question,
what if our girls were out there in skimpy little outfits showing more than what they should be and had the signs there showing our players doing things to the other team and instead of the players running through the sign it was left there, would the person who called in the complaint not have said a word?
just something to ponder over with this.
I know as parents we would not let this happen.""
Yes California dose teach that, but then again so do most all the schools across our great country. I went to school in cali till 10th grade and finished here and all through that time was taught about all the different faiths around world.
but not just their faiths but everything about the running of each and every government from local to Federal.
But this is really not about what the schools teach, but what the first amendment says about religion, and state and federal supported Establishments, (#ie schools, court houses,federal buildings, and so on).
Nothing in the First Amendment converts our public schools into religion-free zones, or requires all religious expression to be left behind at the schoolhouse door. While the government may not use schools to coerce the consciences of our students, or to convey official endorsement of religion, the public schools also may not discriminate against private religious expression during the school day.
Religion is too important in our history and our heritage for us to keep it out of our schools…[I]t shouldn't be demanded, but as long as it is not sponsored by school officials and doesn't interfere with other children's rights, it mustn't be denied.
