> Where is the thought process of thinking a student can write a paper about God w/out writing about God.
Non sequitur. The paper topic was about *religion* and government, not *God* and government.
Not so, this is how it reads in the article, Hauf's teacher approved her term paper topic — Religion and its Place within the Government. We can argue semantics all day. But you can not discuss the US Government w/out some discussion of God, w/out being intellectually dishonest. Whether it be talking about the founding fathers or the hot button issue of today...can God be talked about in public schools or buildings.
The American Constitution only allows the government to acknowledge the citizens belief in God. The government cannot acknowledge the citizens religion which is his choice in how to recognize that God.
