This is why we have the First Amendment.

That is, we do NOT have a First Amendment to prevent silly sayings on
money or the local Christmas tree. We have a First Amendment to
prevent the government from establishing a state religion complete with mandatory participation. That is, we have a First Amendment to prevent exactly what the 9th Circus just ruled constitutional: Islamic role-playing in public school. Link by way of Althouse. There is nothing wrong with teaching a course on comparative religions. There is a lot wrong about making that course mandatory, or having those in the course participate in the religious rites of the various religions involved. |
