You're right, it doesn't appear in the constitution, but as you said, the supreme court precedent is that Seperation of Church and State is the law of the land. Also, in a Treaty with Tripoli ((I can't remember the Year)) the government states that our country was not based upon Christian religious teachings. Given this, it would still be illegal. I think the trouble would be if a student felt that they were being forced into something, or if the Bible was taught literally. But as I said before, the only really safe way to do this, other than not doing it, would be to provide equal time and focus to all religions, which I would consider nigh impossible.
