The state government cannot force someone to be a certain religion here in the USA. That would violate the first amendment.

Students pay to attend Polk College which is a State incorporated College which allows its teachers to force religion on its students. Of course Polk College receives federal funding and as such it cannot force religion on any student, or it would be a violation of the 1st amendment as a matter of Congress making a law giving federal funding to Polk College which has its teacher(s) forcing religion on students, thereby making an effective funding law which establishes religion.

That teachers goose is solidly cooked.

No, it actually wouldn't. The First amendment explicitly, specifically names 'Congress' as the entity to which it applies; this is consistent with the preamble to the Bill of Rights which reads: THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution. — The underlined in particularly important, and the its there refers to the federal government established by the aforementioned Constitution.

You are falling for a dastardly and despicable trick foisted upon us by lawyers and judges in what is an effort to usurp powers: the ability to redefine and then apply the Constitution. — Just look at how many things are called first amendment issues, things from schools to restrooms to twitter. [But, remember, banning prayer was billed as a 1st Amd issue!]

Also, take a look at the State Constitutions; usually they have far better protections regarding religion therein than that afforded by the first amendment.

Students pay to attend Polk College which is a State incorporated College which allows its teachers to force religion on its students. Of course Polk College receives federal funding and as such it cannot force religion on any student, or it would be a violation of the 1st amendment as a matter of Congress making a law giving federal funding to Polk College which has its teacher(s) forcing religion on students, thereby making an effective funding law which establishes religion.

The first amendment prohibits congress passing a law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, nothing more, nothing less. While it is true that no subordinate can have greater authority [than his superior], you are making many assumptions that are simply not proven… like the teacher actually deriving whatever authority from congress, or even the federal government. That's simply not the case: remove the entire federal government and he's still a teacher with all that authority intact.

Exactly. Target the one who did it.

Of course, the left is making that harder and harder.

Yep. It’s interesting how liberals embrace those murdering muzzies and yet slam Christians and Jews for being bigoted when they’re not.

They hate Christianity because it is the most powerful of the world religions and stands in their way. Just like white men, gun owners, others too.
