I'm calling for whatever the local elected school boards decide upon for their schools. If they decide that the New England Primer, having religious connotations would be good for their school, there should be no laws from the state or feds forbidding that. If they decide that prayer is allowed before classes so be it. If they decide that the Koran, the Bible or even the Communist Manifesto is to be curriculum, so be it. If they decide that nothing religious is to be in their local school, so be it. Let the voters via their representatives determine what their children are taught. That's the way a republic is suppose to work.
It is unbelievable to me that you can still remain so clueless about basic civics concerning the United States of America, particularly considering how long you have lived in this country.
This nation was established as a republic precisely in opposition to direct democracy (which apparently you are advocating) because of the justified fear of mob rule inherent in such a system. That is why we have elected representatives and a supreme court, so that the immediate whims of the populace, as in American Idol, do NOT dispense laws or justice directly and according to the immediate and usually irrational emotions of the public at large.
Otherwise we would speaking Arabic or Chinese, which by your posts seems to fit in with your usual and, in this case, contradictory authoritarian pronouncements.
Look, if you hate it here so much why don't you do what your conservative talk show godlets suggest, move to where the government suits your civic (rather than religious {or is it because of your warped religious}) beliefs more, say Iran or North Korea.
I was in military intelligence back when the US beat the Soviet Union without firing a shot (directly). So what did you do in the war daddy?

The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.
