People can't express themselves religiously in public schools? I guess all those cross necklaces, Bibles, christian clothing people were wearing were just figments of my imagination.
I never heard or saw anyone in my 10 years of public schooling (other 3 years were catholic schooling) told to tone down their religious expression.
I'm not talking about the symbolic expressions of your limited imagination, but the ideological expressions that are traditionally thought of as being religious, which are officially suppressed as the ideological expressions of secular humanism are officially imposed.
Funny. Prior to "the religion-education decisions" of the Fifties and Sixties, the religious practices and tenants of Judeo-Christianity were imposed by the schools in many of the several states on non-religious, irreligious or other-religious persons. Since those decisions, the tenants of the irreligious and non-religious have been imposed on the religious.
Hmm. The Court didn't really resolve the matter in accordance with the demands of the First Amendment at all, did it?
