You know that that's not how the constitution is interpreted.
I think something like this sets a precedent than is very likely to come back and bite the various parts of christianity that favor it in the ass. If we can establish a tory bible class, who's to say that we also can't establish a koran class, or a class on the church of satan. Raise your hand if you think that the people over at the National Council on Bible Curriculum would all have self-righteous hissy fits if such a thing were to occur. No doubt they would fail to see their own role in the matter.
