You're absolutely right about the schools becoming a flashpoint for this. Frankly, seeing religion seeping through the cracks into public schools scares the daylights out of me. More to the point, seeing selective religion doing so. If they gave fair and balanced (heh) coverage, talking as much about muslims as christians as anything else, and religion was studied simply as a major force in the world, I'd be fine with that. In fact I think it'd be great. But I am seriously worried about allowing religion to dictate or censor what is taught.
