The First Amendment says that Amerians are free to exercise their Freedom of Religion. Schools interpret this to mean that all indicatiosn of Christian faith must be crushed.

Just a difference in interpretation, that's all.

We should not stand for this. We are free to excerise our religious beliefs.

I don't think it says free to exercise their religion.

It states, [no one quotes the exact word of the first amendment];

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,[notice it states Congress not the states nor counties, only refers to Congress],or PROHIBITING the free exercise there of; The second part of this is usually dropped. It tells me I have the right to worship any place I choose and in what ever manner I choose.

I believe a top attorney might be able to argue this in that manner before any court. He may not win, but if enough education to all of us would come to light, perhaps we could mount a drive to restore our rights.
