Your Honor, under the Constitution, there is no compulsory education and there are no public schools.

Damn Scot, there ya go poisoning His Honor's mind with facts!!!!!!! Surely you can't expect him to think straight if he is only considering the facts?

I would ask His Honor to point to the exact verbage of the Constitution that gives the State the 'right' to teach ANYTHING!!!! Else, I would consider His Honor a lunatic living in a fantasy world where anything goes...

That's not how the U.S. Constitution operates. You have things exactly backwards. As long as the U.S. Constitution doesn't *forbid* it, the states can do whatever they want, including run schools. See the 10th Amendment:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
