No, you are right, I don't. But I think it is more than a coincidence that you are willing to make an exception for the posting of a corpus of doctrines set forth in an authoritative matter by a church-- dogma which accords with your personal beliefs. It is too convenient, that claim of yours that the reason you, and not I, may proclaim your views on religion in the public school is simply that the majority were able to get some state legislators to give it their stamp of approval. If the majority in some state okays teaching Satanism or White Supremacy or Mormonism by means of a poster containing their precepts on a placard behind the teacher, but excluding you and me, will that be okay? I think you are saying the the majority vote of a state legislature is exceedingly important, more important, even, than the separation clause; and I suspect when it gores your ox-- and what goes around comes around-- you will see differently this matter of the lofty power of the state legislature to decide to choose what religious precepts can or can't be promoted in government supported schools.
