Is Declaration of Independence unconstitutional?

This has to filed under "I can't believe my frigging eyes!". According to WorldNet Daily:

...a California case is taking the "separation of church and state" one step
further – dealing with whether it's unconstitutional to read the Declaration of
Independence in public school.


Attorneys for the Alliance Defense Fund filed suit Monday against the Cupertino Union School District for prohibiting a teacher from providing supplemental handouts to students about American history because the historical documents contain some references to God and religion.

[...]

Just what documents did Williams submit that were deemed unfit for the school's students?

"Excerpts from the Declaration of Independence, the diaries of George Washington and John Adams, the writings of William Penn, and various state constitutions," said the public-interest law firm representing Willliams.


Good! This is exactly the sort of case I love to see filed. This case reveals the full extent of the multiculturalism’s hostility toward America’s culture. As I have blogged elsewhere, multiculturalism is one of the weapons the leftists use against America.

The primary error that the leftists exploit is the constitutional injunction against establishing a national religion. Posting the 10 commandments on the courthouse wall isn’t establishing a religion, saying the Pledge of Allegiance isn’t establishing a religion and exposing public school students to statements the founders made regarding god and the bible isn’t establishing a religion.

With any luck this case will further reduce the left’s and multiculturalism’s credibility.

A tip of the hat to Lynn for emailing me about this nonsense.
