do you think the Declaration of Independence is constitutional?

That is a nonsensical question. The Declaration is not an act under Constitutional control.

Should the Declaration of Independence be taught in public schools?

The Declaration of Independence is an historical document. In this country, however, we still have elements of "pre-Constitutional" law. For instance, the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 was adopted by Congress under the Articles of Confederation. The Ordinance set up the Township & Range system still used today for establishing leagal boundaries. The policies for how territories are organized and how they eventually become states is also laid down in the Ordinance.

Sooner or later, I believe that the Supreme Court will tackle this issue once and for all. Our country was founded on Judeo-Christian values and the founders recognized that it didn't matter how, or if, one worshipped their Creator. References to diety in our national documents, on our money and federal reserve notes, and in our pledge, DO NOT CONSTITUTE state-sponsored religion.
