Students also have Saturdays off so I don't see your point there either. I am not saying that we should bring a preacher into the school to preach for an hour a day, I am saying that kids need to have an option. Parents should not have to home school or private school their children just because they want them to learn about the bible or about any religion. If they have a religion class in the schools, then they could teach about them all.
Evolution isn't a belief, it's fact and it's science, it's not part of any religion - or atheism. Every science class I've been in all throughout school when evolution was brought up, the teacher never once said anything about it refuting God or God at all. I meant they have Sundays off, to go to church. When everyone taxes pay for the public school, no religion can be taught. And I agree about a religion class, but that's a fine line as it is which can't show any bias by the teacher, nothing like the second story which a Christian Bible will be taught. That school will have numerous huge lawsuits to settle, as they should. If you teach one, you have to teach them all, which that is not possible...so just leave it out all together the way it should be.
