Well I think there's your problem right there. So your belief is that Congress IS permitted to promote religion?

Promote religion in general. You betcha. Establish a religion, no way.

Let's time travel 300 years into the future, and there is an Islamic majority in Congress.

If by some quirk of fate there is an Islamic majority in Congress 300 years from now, I doubt very seriously if there will still be a constitution.

Do you still believe Congress is permitted to promote religion? Or just YOUR religion?

If I am in a school district that is largely Islamic or Buddhist, and that school district thought it expedient to have Islamic or Buddhist scripture reading or prayers at the beginning of the school day, I would probably ask for my children to be excused during the ceremony. Congress starts their sessions with prayers. No one is required to participate, but Congress votes on who gives the prayers. Why not schools?

Aha! We find out a bit more....

She also took issue with Enderle's explanation of the dispute by posting an online response to a letter he had written to The Fulton Sun newspaper.

That blog entry apparently angered Enderle and members of the Fulton school board, said DeVore, who after the "Grease" dustup was told by administrators that her annual contract might not be renewed.

So the Superindendent took his case public, then got pissed when the teacher did the same???
