I think that would be the extension of her "logic". Where would it end? I would be willing to wager a substantial amount that not a one of these ilk of "professor" or "student" can cite, much less understand, any of the Amendments to the US Constitution, First, Second, any of them. "Freedom of speech", as it is so often used, does not refer to the "right" to say or do anything, it refers to freedom from government coercion or censorship in the public arena. Same with "freedom of religion". The anti-Christians who have taken Nativity scenes out of schools and public spaces clearly do not understand the meaning of the Amendment. Again, it protects individuals from government coercion and establishment of a state religion. It does not apply to the aforementioned scenarios, nor does "separation of church and state" as it is oft-used wrongly. These "educators" need to go back to civics class to re-learn the meaning of the Amendments and the US Constitution. Meanwhile. additional generations of Constitutional ignoramuses are being churned out by the "educators" who care only about their left-wing agenda.
