Once again it's the camel's nose under the tent. The place for religious teaching is at a home or church, not a public-funded school. I would approve of mythology and beliefs class in the context of social sciences, that looked a variety of strongly held political or religious beliefs in the context of mythology, the studies of wars and religion. This seems to be an important part of a core curriculum. But using the charter school movement to fund idolatry seems suspect. Why wouldn't it be just as suspect to invest in church-based schools.
