It's a big country and you'll always be able to find something really silly happening somewhere, the law of large numbers demands it.

Unless the SCOTUS has approved of this policy, I think it is premature to talk about Constitutional Amendments.

I would bet you that 99.99% of the school districts in the U.S. allow the use of the Declaration of Independence in class.

Just because something crazy happens every once in a while doesn't mean we have to go apesh**.

"Are you aware of the CA case where a teacher is not allowed to use the declaration of Independence in class?

This is a history class.

It's been banned because it mentions God."

The articles I have posted indicate that your statement is not true. The Declaration of Independence has not been banned from the classroom.
