Agreed that religion has no place in public schools. However, ethics?! Ethics are crucial for a society to function and absolutely should be taught. Even you thank your teachers for "showing us ethics in our public schools when [you were] a kid"!

It's bad enough that so many schools have abandoned the teaching of civics (our responsibilities as a citizen) and geography (leaving many kids with the thought that the U.S. IS the world, or at least the only world that counts...)!
