This seems to say that there is a Separation of Church and State, but not a Separation of Mosque and State. Why do the American people put of with this crap. I want my rights and religion reflected is schools too. Where are my Ten Commandants.

not a Separation of Mosque and State. I have not read the case, but she is a student and her right to wear a Ha-jib is the same as that of a Jew to wear a Yarmulke or a Christian to wear a cross. The school is clearly wrong in this case.

Your comment made me think of a great potential tactic for Christians to use: Churches should make up Tee Shirts, similar to the Rock Star-Concert Tour shirts, except instead of the dates on the back, it would list the Ten Commandments.
I wonder how many schools would attempt to ban that message? And on what basis?

You have the right to wear the 10 Commandments as part of your clothing, say on a T-shirt, or as an item of jewelry, or on a book cover. That's entirely different from the school itself displaying the Ten Commandments, or, for that matter, the school ordering children to wear hijab.
The difference is between state action, and individual action. The government cannot establish religion. But as a private person, you have every right to express your religion.

Where are my Ten Commandants. Go ahead and wear them on your head, if you'd like.
