It applies the no establishment clause also and extends it to all jurisdictions, including school districts.

Correct. But religion in schools or government, does not establish a religion. There is no constitutional prohibition concerning endorsement, acceptance or promotion of religion.

It most certainly does. It's desire and the attempt by some is to teach it in the schools. Teaching and requiring folks to learn it is in fact establishing. Furthermore, the attempt here is to defraud the students that the religiously motivated claims are actually science. They are not.

"There is no constitutional prohibition concerning endorsement, acceptance or promotion of religion."

There is when it comes to govm't action.
