Teaching a religious point of view as fact in a state-run school seems at odds with the first ammendment, which was agreed upon in Dover. There is a big difference between teaching and exercising religious views.
The first amendment applies to congress as they are the only body who can make laws. And it only applies to a law establishing a religion. Congress has never made such a law establishing any religion.
