Seperate church from state activities (school) or teach EVERY religion equally and let the child make up their mind....i mean, its only fair...

Yes, I agree. That is
if you're going to have religion taught in public schools. And that's a pretty big
if. I don't understand why some people have to turn our schools into churches! If you want to learn about god, go to church (or wait until you're college aged and take some religion and philosophy courses). The problem with teachers (or schools in general) showing favor to any particular religion is that these people are in a position to influence kids. Kids will see a sign in the school hallway, or hear a teacher say something that shows an inclination towards Christian beliefs, and some kids will think that these people are right ... just because they are teachers, or because it is in their schools. I mean, I would probably homeschool my child if I had the time, but as it is, I have to send her to public school. It's the law. And like it or not, the idea that "Christianity is TRUTH" is far from true. It's clsoer to being a flat out lie (unless you're the type of person who says: "I read it in a book ... it MUST be true!" -- after all, that's about as far as the evidence goes to support the truth of god. But such evidence wouldn't even be admissable in a court of law. But I digress). Bill may think it's great to try to make all of our kids Christian, but that kind of thinking goes against not only the constitution of the United States, but every great teaching from the past 200 years or so.
