Under the United States constitution, there is separation of Church and state. The Supreme Court says that this means that the State, through its schools, can not provide religious instruction in its classes. Those who wish their children to have an intensive religious education are at liberty to enrol them in schools run by a church, synagogue, mosque or temple, as appropriate.
