Reminds me a bit of the discussion we had over this case, though that was much more severe than a few god-references in music class.
I think it depends on how the content of the song is handled. Does the teacher focus on the musical aspects and not give a 30 minute speech on the god related lyrics while glossing over the others? Then I see no problem.
Are the songs used as an excuse to give a sermon, is a majority of the songs religious in nature or are the only religious references Christian... mweh better call the FFRF.
Also good to see Donohue play the persecution card again. And saying we are 'going after the children'. The man is priceless.
