"You can't provide a PA system to someone to make a religious message."

Does that mean that military chaplains will now have to use megaphones paid for out of their own pocket?

Then there is always the question about even paying chaplains out of tax dollars. I suppose they could pass the collection plate and get by.

But wait! Shouldn't it also be illegal to preach on a battleship paid for with tax dollars? Time to keel-haul the chaplain. ;'<

Personally, I think it's hypocritical and dysfunctional of the 'powers-that-be' to allow the pledge of allegiance to the flag of our country in tax-funded schools while disallowing the mention of God under whose inspiration our country and our Constitution was founded.

Did we throw out the baby and keep the bathwater?

Good point! The current legal situation with religious speech is SCHIZOID. The 10 commandments are allowed in this district, but not in another; a student can say God in this district, but not in another; the Supreme Court can have reliefs of Moses but a decalog is not allowed in an Alabama courthouse. The inconsistency is a clear indication that these judges and schools have no idea what they are doing - they are just following their agenda or someone else's agenda without any regard to the rights of the student or individual.
