I don't believe religion should be forced out of schools.

So you are in agreement with the Texas AG who sued to keep the biblical quote in a school.

I find that a little backwards, but you're entitled to your opinion!

The religious right believes all but one should be. That's the difference between them and me.

So again you advocate for all religions be allowed to practice unfettered in all public schools at all times.
I do like your consistency!

But you do tend to over generalize and demonize "the religious right".
For example: I am on the right, and I'm religious. But I do not, however, advocate any religion in any school during normal school hours. I would be fine with religious extracurricular activities and clubs that are voluntary for the participants. I'm also ok with religious and secular organizations renting public buildings for a competitive rate.

Amazing what I can type in 2 commercials.

Within reason, yes. Students should be allowed to pray in school or read religious texts in their spare time. Prayer should be allowed over the PA at events. Extracurricular religious organizations should be allowed to meet. I think that at the high school level a basic world religions course or subject matter should be part of the social studies/history curriculum.

The problem is many (most?) on the religious right want all that allowed for Christians but nobody else.
