As to freedom, you're free to home-school your kids, send them to parochial schools, private academies or the public schools. The first three can teach religion if they wish, the fourth can't and shouldn't, due to the "public" nature of the public schools. In the same vein, it would seem to be unconstitutional since the public schools are government-funded and are responsible to the government for their actions, it would not be possible for them to have any prayer in school unless they allowed all types of prayer. If they allow one type of school activity, then all kinds of school activity should be valid. Since Creationism is a religious concept, which is a tenet of many religions, is still a religious tenet, and as such violates the advocacy of one religion over another, which is prevented by the First Amendment. As to your ranting about the TV, you're perfectly free to change the channel or turn it off. Maybe John Hagee, Pat Robertson or Jimmy Swaggert is more your style. Personally, that's not on my-most watched list.
