NOTES:
1. The First Congress of The United States of America funded the printing of bibles with taxpayer money. These were men with much familiarity of what was, and was not Constitutional.
2. Nearly 60 years after the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified, the Taft Supreme Court extended the "incorporation doctrine" to include states (local government and schools) in the First Amendment restriction upon CONGRESS and the establishment of religion.
3. It is this 1925 Supreme Court ruling that is the foundation for all subsequent rulings against religion in public schools, state and local government.
4. The only way of setting aside the 1925 ruling is a Constitutional Amendment restoring the First Amendment as it was ratified.

You can add to your list the fact that Thomas Jefferson himself attended church services held in the US Treasury building in DC.
