Yeah, life was so much better when we had the government telling our children, at school, what religion was better than others. Ah, the good old days....

Ahh, but it's okay if the school tells a kid that he can't say the word God? Or tells a validictorian that he can't mention the word "Jesus" in his speech? That, my friend, is SUPPRESSION of free speech. He can say all sorts of vulgarities, post gay fliers, but can't say the word God? In what instances, pray tell, does the Free Exercise Clause come into play in your world?

This nation was built on the judeo-Christian principles (the bible) - like it or not, and the bible and God were both in schools from the beginning - from 1620 all the up to 1962. Neither original intent or precedent are on your side.
