"Cases like this present Christians with a golden opportunity to introduce elements of religious teaching back into the state curriculum..."

You have to be smart about it though. You can make a module on Celtic monks, the Book of Kells, the Celtic cross to study Ireland. Bring up St. Patrick and Brian Boru.

Catholic culture including the Rosary and our Lady of Guadalupe for Southwest history.

I have to say though that there is no way that I or any member of my family would ever under any circumstance say this monstrosity: "'In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of Creation, The Compassionate, the Merciful, King of Judgment-day! You alone we worship, and to You alone we pray for help..."

It would exactly the same as denying Christ. I wonder did the California court require the children to repeat this horror? Allah is not the God of Abraham.
