This is a prime example of total distortion.
The DoI was not banned. The teacher was prohibitted from handing out Christian pamphlets that mentioned the DoI.
Direct quotes from a PR from the foundation bringing the lawsuit:
Quote:
School district forbids teacher from providing handouts that reference significant documents in U.S. history because they mention God
Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund filed suit yesterday against the Cupertino Union School District for prohibiting a teacher from providing supplemental handouts to students about American history
Documents ... submitted that (were) rejected include excerpts from the Declaration of Independence
