Separation vs Exclusion Continued......
The Declaration of Independence is unconstitutional. How do you make this argument? Well, if you're the Cupertino Union School District in California, you can. According to them, discussion of the Declaration of Independence should be forbidden from public schools because "God" is in the writings.

I continue to be amazed at how the "separation of church and state" continues to be misconstrued. But, even beyond that, the Declaration of Independence is a historic document leading to the founding of the nation. Historical revisionism strikes again! Isn't it interesting how God has been removed from public schools, yet the same schools are closed for Christmas, Easter break, and Thanksgiving, all religious based holidays. Thanksgiving is not based in religion, you say? Here are George Washington's words declaring it a holiday back in 1789:

If you TRULY want GOD removed from public schools, then these holidays should not be celebrated with days off from school because they are based in religious origins. Or, the public schools should also be off for Hanukkah, Passover, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, and every other religious holiday you can think of, in support of diversity and "separation of church and state" After all, one religious holiday shouldn't have preference over any other, if you follow this line of thought.
