Please show me previous laws limiting the religious freedom of Christians.-antiRepublicrat, 111

people in a 99.9% Hasidic community were restricted in their free exercise when the government came in and told them they couldn't have their prayers in the school. Alabamans felt their free exercise was trampled upon by the ruling to remove Moore's rock.-NutCrackerBoy,115

we should privatize the schools with various strings attached to ensure equitable education and minimum standards, and then let any group apply for public school funds. That also means you can't exclude religious groups from applying for these equal funds to run religious schools because that would require a law.-antiRepublicrat,127

Interesting answer. You agree, then, that the system, as it exists now, denied free exercise to this community of Hasidics? But instead of striking down the Supreme Court doctrine that caused the situation, (Establishment interpretation + Doctrine of Incorporation), you would privatize all schools?

It's a Tao kind of thing. Instead of attacking the problem head on and creating more problems, bringing up more constitutional questions that we probably solve, we just make the problem disappear by eliminating the public school question altogether.
