Howard M. Friedman at Religion Clause notes that Americans United for the Separation of Church and State has announced a letter they presented to the Nebraska-based Todd Becker Foundation, an organization that offers presentations to high schools on the horrors of drunken driving.  What’s so bad about telling teens to stay sober or away from the wheel?  Here’s the foundation’s description of what they do:

Tragic, life-changing, death, need of help…powerful, shown the truth, salvation, Jesus Christ.  Sounds like any alter call I’ve experienced at a tent revival or Rapture movie screening.  But in public school?
