I don't think this has anything to do with the separation of church and state. It's a history lesson - you can't change history just because you don't like the religious beliefs of the people involved.
The Declaration of Independence is a major part of American history and should not be discarded from the curriculum just because it was written by a Christian. Sometimes simple common sense should be employed rather than hand-wringing "political correctness."
Although it sounds as though we haven't heard the full story anyway, so I don't really know why I'm commenting.
