The constitution also made a point of separating religion and government

The point was to keep the state out of religion, unlike England, not to keep religion from influencing government.

Not all the kids who went there were Catholic - heck we even had a couple of Jewish kids in my class.

I think though that my salient point is that we need competition in education, the government run mediocre monopoly is run for the benefit of the union not the teachers. There needs to be more choice for the parents.

I think you have a valid point about separation of religion and state but the fact remains that the public schools system is indoctrinating our kids with a belief paradigm that often runs contrary to those of the parents.

I am an atheist. Going to a catholic school would have killed me

When you were in school, that probably was true, today Catholic schools are more secular than public schools.
