Apparently, "unconstitutional" doesn't mean shit mean shit when it comes to church and state.

It isn't anything until a judge says it is.

The school will have a hard time defending itself along the lines of the Lemon Test, though.

Quote:The Court's decision in this case established the "Lemon test", which details the requirements for legislation concerning religion. It consists of three prongs:

The government's action must have a secular legislative purpose; (Purpose Prong)
The government's action must not have the primary effect of either advancing or inhibiting religion; (Effect Prong)
The government's action must not result in an "excessive government entanglement" with religion. (Entanglement Prong)

Hopefully by the time I have kids and they are of school age, I'll be able to send them to a charter school with real teachers.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

A distinction apparently lost on jesus freaks.

Theology is the queen of the sciences to these people, no really.
