The Constitutional doctrine is against "establishment". I do not think that such minor expressions constitute establishment. The tax dollar argument is silly, since no one approves of everything done with tax dollars (if you ask, maybe you can get your penny rebate). I am arguing that it does not amount to promoting religion, so why promote atheism? The Kama Sutra is about sex, so it is irrelevant...As I said, one invokes things that mean something within the pre- existing cultural framework, like the Ten Commandments or the Declaration of Independence. If, say, the Analects of Confucius has much cultural resonance in a given school district, then by all means, post something from it...
