[Whether abortion is legal under the US Constitution is not a question of religion.
By the same token would you prohibit schools from teaching that the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old just because some religious opinions do not recognize reality?]
Yep, and you would choose to teach my kids something you call reality but cannot be proven.
I hate to tell you this, but the Constitution is like the Law of Moses. It shows the need for a Saviour. The law cannot satisfy everyone. The law cannot be just for everyone. There will be no true justice until Christ is King.

If you teach about Christian origins, you should also teach about how Odin made the universe from the body of a giant, and how humans are descended from ash trees. Or about how Shiva is constantly creating and destroying the universe.
A saviour from what?, are we roaming in the dessert for fourty years?, WTF?, and second, Jesus set VERY CLEAR that his Kingdom was not of this world, END. And if it´s not for everyone, don´t make them enforce it to your sole benefit and don´t call it LAW. It has to be universal.

Too bad he's dead. If he even existed at all.
"... There will be no true justice until Christ is King."
A king, by definition cannot be just. As Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence, "Governments are instituted among [people], deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
A king does not seek the consent of the governed. A king unilaterally dictates their will, and the people are forced to obey. There is no social contract under monarchy- only force. Any monarch (especially fictional ones) should be resisted by any means necessary.
Schools teach your children what the evidence shows. You have every evening and every weekend to "unteach" them. Yes, I know schools have the advantage of EVIDENCE, which the bible can't provide. That means the smarter children will escape Fundieland, but the dumb ones will make you proud.
No, you're the one wanting to teach things that cannot be proven, Lisa dearie.
The Constitution is in place to STOP things like the Law of Moses. Haven't you read it?
We have a King in Sweden. He's neither just nor in charge of anything much. He's fairly old now, and conservative, so most of what he says is outdated and uninteresting. But he was in favor of Metoo in his Christmas speech. Perhaps because he has four sisters, a wife, two daughters and a couple of grand-daughters... He's just to his eldest daughter, the heir to the throne, in that he doesn't want to relinquish the throne to her while her children are small. I doubt that I'd call that true justice, though.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
