lsneo, just wanted to mention about the word of God not allowed in public places usually has to do with Government places. I am Christian myself, but the government can not endorse any religion. Plus as a Christian I know the bible states spread the word but do not force it upon non-believers. So when you only teach Christianity aren't you forcing students to believe that the bible is fact? Are you giving the student the oppertunity to choose to be a Christian or not? Can you teach every religion? No, and that is why there is no endorsement of religion by the US government. That is where it's become a little more cloudy then can we have a bible verse on a wall or not.
This comes up a lot around here because there are a couple public parks in towns around here with The Ten Commandments displayed. The ACLU gets involved, there are court orders, etc. What everyone has failed to do, up to this point, is prove how having The Ten Commandments displayed in public is government endorsement of a religion.

Uncle Walt, as in Cronkite? Yeah, there's some unbiased, credible integrity there...  "And that's the way (we want you to think) it is..."
Wait just a second Marty. Uncle Walt was a consummate professional for the bulk of his career to my recollection. He rarely interjected his political views into the broadcast of the news - at least from what I can recall as a very young man. As his career wound down, the slant began, and upon his retirement his views were made evident. But he did have far more journalistic integrity than todays purveyors of yellow journalism.

Hehe. One of my favorates is a variation of that. "You have a right to free speech, but I am not required to listen."
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Unless, of course, you're in the public school system.
