"When freedom of (or from) religion is guaranteed to every citizen, then no majority can ever rule just because it is the majority. If only one student in a public school was not of the religion of every other student, then it would unconstitutional for that student to be subjected to the rites and rituals of the majority." Why??? A public school, insitution, individual or state is not Congress. It is only Congress that must not interfere with states, individuals and public institutions rights to the free exercise of religion. Please read the First Amendment carefully. It is clearly and simply written. Emile

"That is why public schools cannot be places of worship. In fact, it is in our best interests as citizens to insist that public schools are free from the practice of religion. This creates the framework for joining together in our commonality instead of reinforcing dividing lines." What commonality does light have with darkness, and Christ with antichrist? If you feel comfortable holding Christ is one hand and antichrist in another, then you have clearly idenitified yourself as a lukewarm fence rider. It is your choice to choose your destiny, but just remember that Jesus about lukewarmers. As for reinforcing divisions, I would refer you to the words of Jesus. Regards Emile
