Parents Sue N.J. School for 'God' Song Ban
I don't think you understand Constitutional law.
The Constitution says explicitly in the 1st Amendment that that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." It also states in the 10th Amendment that "...powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."
In other words, the 10th says that if the Constition fails to mention something that comes up later, it's up for states to decide. But since with the 1st, the Constitution washes the government's hands of religion, the states have no rights to those powers.
