... for the advancement of the Christian Gospel.

Do we put the Jews in concentration camps?

What about Indian Hindus? What about atheists?

See, the Founders didn't allow for the establishment of a "government" religion.

That was a very good thing, especially since I don't want anybody's "biblical principles" taught in a public school.

Your conclusions take ridiculous leaps (wake up - some of us out here have brains).

You would have hated the first 175 years of the USA in which this was never seen as a violation of the constitution. We have always been (until the 1960's) a nation in which public schools were profoundly Christian in nature - so much so that Catholics formed their own schools to avoid conflicts with their own beliefs.

Memorizing and writing bible verses was standard fare until the 1950's - the bible was assigned reading as a moral and religious textbook in public schools - universally.

Well I guess patriots like me are not wanted because I am buddhist.

Sheesh... and all that work for the past 30 years upholding my oath to 'preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic'. Oops.. That did say foreign and domestic, didn't it? I think the poster of this article is sorta sounding like an enemy of the first ammendment, therefore an enemy of the constitution!

Hey there, Wiley Sr, are you proposin' some type of American Taliban type government? I say 'go back to your cave'.
