The intermingling of patriotism and religion in recent weeks has caused confusion about what type of speech is permissible

I may not be exactly verbatim, but I seem to remember "congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech." I am pretty sure that this means that the ACLU/AU can go stick their "humanistic" principles up the ungodly...well, you get the idea.

Appealing to the First Amendment is only logical in this case. And public schools are the perfect place for the rights of that amendment to be asserted. That amendment was not designed to protect free speech in private homes. It's intended to protect free speech in public.

I'm sorry, but I just don't get these ACLU types. How in the heck am I "establishing" a religion if I am a teacher, an administrator or even a student and sayiing "God bless America"? I thought the establishment of a religion is a heck of a lot harder than that.
