I believe separation of church and State is a fundamental part of the constitution of the United States, as well as freedom of religion. Or is that just an outdated document that is no longer of any relevance? In regard to your first question I agree that it depends wholly on where you are located in the United States. California/Texas = Spanish / Hebrew=northern east-coast / French= just for fun/ Mandarin = anywhere (you'd be surprised how many undocumented chinese there are in every part of America) Why would teaching Judaism and Hebrew be any more illegal than teaching Christianity or enforcing mandatory class-time prayer.

But as a charter school they can teach whatever language they feel is relevant to the study. Even public schools offer German, Chinese and French. Even if it is a non-christian topic, what they are teaching is probably for the history. Spanish is most popular.

I feel the most important second language to speak of the ones you listed is French. Canada is right above us and Quebec speaks French so I think it's a good thing.

I read one report of one teaching Islam. I know that I don't want my tax dollars wasted on any of them....but not my choice. As to which is (2nd) most important, Spanish for now, Mandarin after the Chinese are more deeply embedded. Charter schools have much more leeway. I read one report of one teaching Islam.
