The "iconic advertisements" of Christianity (the main religion of our
founding fathers)

false. The Founding fathers were, for the m,ost part, Deists, not
Christians.
And, if you were an educator, you would be aware of the following from
the Founding Fathers:

I am an educator and I am not only aware of the folks you mentioned,
but am also aware that there were many on the other side of the aisle.

With good reason. Children should be taught the truth, not your
subjective, revisionist lies.

As opposed to YOUR subjective, revisionist lies? The ones that claim
that we should not be allowed to pray in school, mention the Name of
our Lord, or live according to our faith? You should be allowed to
live according to YOUR religious beliefs, but we should not?

If you need to do that, then keep your children at home and school
them there. Or send them to a private school.

Many of us do. We pay taxes that should pay for their educations,
then we pay PRIVATE schools to do what the taxes won't allow.

As an "educator," you are no doubt aware that a public, government run
institution must, by Constitutional law, show no preference to any
religion.
If you believe otherwise, then are you in favor of giving the Wiccans,
satanists, and Buddhists equal time, so that their religions can also
be taught?

Yet in our schools islam IS taught, openly and without opposition.
Christianity cannot be taught even though Christianity IS a
significant part of American history (whether you like it or not), but
the seven pillars of islam (the religion of our enemies, no less) is
taught in many schools, openly.

but children are
being taught (legally) what the Muslims believe about THEIR god in
public schools.

Cites, please.

By giving citations I would be giving some hint as to where and
possibly who I am; I will not do that. Ask the question on Google
though. . .you'll see I am right.

They are also being taught the ATHEIST religion in
public schools, that God either doesn't exist or is not important.

Atheism is no more a religion than your shampoo.
Atheism is lack of belief in god(s).
An educator would know that.

By definition Atheism is literally "no god," or the belief that NO GOD
EXISTS. By teaching that no god exists or that God has nothing to do
with lives, they teach "no god" to our children. And the Supreme
Court has acknowledged that atheism IS a religiously held belief.

There is no such thing as teaching that both includes and excludes
God, and by excluding God, you are teaching the exclusion of God.

False.

SHOW ME how you can do otherwise. I bet you cannot.

And please stop the "I'm so persecuted because my religion isn't being
taught in public schools" whine. An educator wouldn't have to resort
to such base tactics.

I am an educator.

My heartfelt condolences to your pupils.

They are fine. It is obvious however, that you are not.

in Christ Jesus,
Christian
