I would ask His Honor to point to the exact verbage of the Constitution that gives the State the 'right' to teach ANYTHING!!!!

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.

Then the proper action of this judge would have been to throw the case out of federal court. He didn't though.

Also,,,did you read is opinion? Not one mention, that I recall, to the 10th Amendment. Instead his reasoning is fabricated out of thin air.

I just loved his reference to the Yoder ruling. His reasoning is that Yoder was OK because school threatened the entire Amish way of life. The Parkers have no standing because the book "King and King" does not threaten their "entire" way of life, only part of it. Oh boy! ( sigh!)

Ever heard of the Incorporation Doctrine? Why do you think the Federal Courts rule, e.g., that prayer in public schools is not permitted?
