We would all get along much better if religion was something kept in the privacy of your own home and places of worship.

Whats the damn difference?
They are already cramming so many lies and so much deception and thought control down the throats of our children who gives a #?
If you really care about your kids pull them out of the school system.

How can it be proven exactly? Your argument is fallacious because it isn't falsifiable, very convenient for you. It's the equivalent of asking us to prove that God doesn't exist.
Go ahead and mark it as a "win" if you want to but the fact still remains that religion has helped to shape the world we have today more than anything else.

I'm not butthurt lol, I was just giving an example as to how religion has helped to shape the world we live in today. It hasn't painted a pretty picture has it? Judging by your tone and attitude you are the one who is butthurt.
How about this, I'll counter your question with my own: prove how removing religion from society wouldn't make things better. That'll be pretty hard to prove won't it?
It is unbelievably annoying to ask someone for any evidence of their claims and then to have them not present any evidence but just quote back rhetoric they have heard over and over.

Sounds a lot like what Christians do with the bible doesn't it? Fundamentalists or not.
Trying to get you to provide a proof or a single academic document is like you trying to get the same from a religious fundamentalist.

Sabine Parish School, it's right in the byline of the OP article.
How about we instead show them ACTUAL evidences, not contrived manipulated evidences, we distinguish theory from fact..., we teach them rational and logic based argument rather than emotional and we stop complaining so damn much...

I was defending it in the same way you were debating it. You have no proof that it isn't true just as we have no proof that it is true.
how about we stop indoctrinating our kids in school PERIOD....
Stop indoctrinating them with global warming farsities, with darwinist ridiculousness, and with other idiocy.

The American Civil Liberties Union and the ACLU of Louisiana filed a federal lawsuit today against the Sabine Parish School Board, alleging that officials at one school harassed and proselytized a sixth-grader because of his Buddhist faith. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of two parents, Scott and Sharon Lane, and three of their children, including their son, "C.C.," who is a lifelong Buddhist of Thai descent.
"Public schools should be welcoming places for students of all backgrounds," said Marjorie Esman, executive director of the ACLU of Louisiana. "No child should be harassed and made to feel like an outsider in his own classroom, and students should not have to endure school officials constantly imposing their religious beliefs on them while they are trying to learn."
According to the complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, C.C enrolled in Negreet High School, which serves students in kindergarten through twelfth grade, earlier this year and quickly became the target of harassment by school staff. His science teacher, Rita Roark, has repeatedly taught students that the Earth was created by God 6,000 years ago, that evolution is "impossible," and that the Bible is "100 percent true."
