[Right Wing Professor]

Well, I guess there we have it. I claim that no one is very consistent in their application of the First Amendement to educational issues. jwalsh07 claims he is completely consistent, and when we draw attention to the fact that he approves of use of federal courts to uphold free exercise but not the establishment cause, it's because we don't understand it.

And I'm a 'statist', because I approve of intervention of the federal judiciary (in circumstances he doesn't like, of course, no problem intervening to uphold 'free exercise') to limit the power of local governments.

Yep, consistency, gotta love it.

Weak Professor, very weak. Your shortcomings are not my responsibility.

But heck, for the benefit of us all why don't you take us throught the machinations that allows the words "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...." to be interpreted to mean that the federal government has the power to intervene when the Dover school board requires a statement telling its students that the ToE has gaps.

I'm never to old to learn something new.
