Re: U.S. Constitution
I recall that about 10 or 15 years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that if extra-curricular clubs and local civic organizations were allowed to use a school's facilities, then religious organizations must also be allowed use of the facilities in a non-discriminatory manner.
I don't know if the ACLU was directly involved in that case, but here is the stand of the Illinois ACLU:
If a school allows any kind of non-curricular club to meet on school grounds, then it must allow a religious club to use the facilities as well. Teachers and administrative officials must stay out of club activities, except for monitoring for acceptable behavior of all students.

Re: Traditions
What's more, the phrase "Laws of Nature and Nature's God" is a tip-off that the god they were referring to is the Deist god, who created and then stepped back to let creation take care of itself -- and certainly didn't concern itself with being worshipped.

Re: A reading problem.

You said that we if we teach that creationism or any religion isn't true then we must also offer some time to teach that it is true.
Oh. Is that what he said? So anytime we teach that anything is incorrect, we also have to spend time teaching that it is correct?
