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?"
Not much, except she seems to be tolerant of individual exercize of (or shunning of) religion in a school setting.
What does it mean "chooses to express him or herself in religious terms?"
I take that as an overt display or utterance. But she balances that against "oppresively require a student to participate in religious activities against their will."
You do raise good questions about her 1st amendment jurisprudential philosophy. I haven't dug that far in, in that area, but am biased toward thinking she may actually be a traditionalist in that regard.
