Faith and schools don't mix

Who in their right mind would want anyone associated with the government or the public school system teaching our children about God's role in the way things work? I say the atheists and agnostics are doing us a favor by pressing to exclude all mention of intelligent design or any other reference to deity by the government or our schools.

If we leave it to the government and our local school boards to teach our kids anything about God, I fear that they might come up with something akin to the descriptions given by three blind men trying to explain an elephant to each other after touching different parts of the beast.
