Bill O'Reilly says any mention of Jesus in the public school system is immediately met with the phrase "separation of church and state." But, he argues, "Jesus, Moses and Judeo-Christian tradition are an important part of this country's constitutional history."

O'Reilly spoke with Fox political analyst Charles Krauthammer on "The O'Reilly Factor" Tuesday on the matter. Krauthammer said that for Jesus and Christianity to be brought into public schools, the curriculum should be focused on the faith's historical relevance to and role in the nation's founding.

O'Reilly made it clear that he agreed with his guest but insisted that it is not happening. "You can't teach the history of America by avoiding Judeo-Christian tradition and the impact it had on the framers, it's impossible," O'Reilly declared.

The Fox analyst noted that the Constitution protects public schools teaching about Jesus and Christianity in a historic context.

"Under the First Amendment, you can clearly teach about religion," Krauthammer said. "You want to have a high school course on the history of religions-of comparison religion-on the influence of religion on the American founding, on Lincoln on his view-his understanding of divine justice of the Civil War-that would be perfectly reasonable and I don't think there'd be any objection."

To which O'Reilly replied, "Then why isn't it being done?" Krauthammer's position is that the Public schools are no longer teaching anything that is linked to these traditions. "We're not teaching anything! We're not teaching the civil war, we are not teaching who the founders are, we are not explaining anything," he replied noting that he has looked at the AP exams his child has taken in High School and there are gaps in those parts of history.

O'Reilly over all believes, public school has "consciously made the decision to wipe out Judeo-Christian tradition" in avoiding the trouble.
