In our public schools in Hawaii in Hawaiian studies programs K-12 , they often teach children Hawaiian songs and chants. Although I have no objection to it, can chants be considered religious? Are they made to Hawaiian Gods? If they are, do teaching them violate the separation of church and state? I ask because it has come up as a question from a student at our school. I notice when you try to research chants on a DOE computer a block comes up as a religious webpage and can't be viewed. So the DOE doesn't approve , but teaches it.
