Religion "No one should be able to oppressively require a student to participate in religious activities against their will, but if a student on his or own chooses to express him or herself in religious terms, that should not be permittedprohibited."

It's a recapitulation of the religion clauses in the 1st Amendment.

So what do you divine from that? Is she for or against prayer in the schools, or placing a creche' in the public square? Reciting the Pledge of Allegiance?

Recapitulation of the 1st Amendment? "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"

"No one should be able to oppressively require a student to participate in religious activities against their will, but if a student on his or own chooses to express him or herself in religious terms, that should not be prohibited."

I have a hard time equating the above statement with a recapitulation of the 1st Amendment. What does it mean "chooses to express him or herself in religious terms?"
