Classroom advocacy

 I have often noted the disparity between the way in which religious advocacy in the classroom is treated and the way anti-religious advocacy is treated. It is as if they think that you can't violate the Establishment Clause if you attack religion in class, because atheism is a religion like not collecting stamps is a religion. So we can shove atheism down your throat all you want to, but if you advocate your religious views in class, there is an issue with the Establishment Clause. You ought at least to have the right to say in class "I'm a believer, here's why" or "I am an unbeliever, here's why." But your first job is to be fair in presenting the case on both sides. I've had atheist professors who were good at doing that. Others, not so much. One of my former teachers in grad school notice a cross on the blackboard. He then put his head down on the desk and said "I won't start class until somebody erases that."
