She is as ignorant as a leftist when she says that school and religion don’t mix because of the “Establishment Clause.” It says: “CONGRESS shall make no law...” etc. There is NOTHING in the Constitution that says kids can’t pray before a football game, etc., etc. If Congress tried to pass a law about prayers in school being mandatory, now THAT would be anti-Constitutional.

She is as ignorant as a leftist when she says that school and religion don't mix because of the "establishment Clause." ... There is nothing in the Constitution that says kids can't pray before a football game, etc., etc.

IIRC, the SCOTUS has ruled that at a (public) public school event, any sectarian prayer led by a school official is unconstitutional, as it represents a de facto establishment of a government-preferred religion. The establishment clause has been extended by judicial decisions well beyond Congress, as a prohibition on all government agencies, not only federal, but state, municipal, and county entities as well.

I've heard Debbie Schlussel called some names, but "ignorant" would be the last adjective one would use to describe her.
