It always amazes me that so many people are unable to see how utterly impossible it is for any government school to equally respect the establishment clause and the free expression of religion clause of the First Amendment.
Both groups of students ( and their parents) are under police, foster care, and court threat to imprison their child in the government indoctrination camp.
If the government allows free expression of religion, the atheistic and Secular Humanist child is subjected to unwanted proselytizing.
If the government forbids free expression of religion, then the government is doing 2 things: 1) violating the student’s human and First Amendment Right to freely express his religious belief, and the government is establishing the government religion of atheism, materialism, and Secular Humanism.
Axiom: Government schools, the First Amendment, and freedom of conscience can NOT coexist. They are utterly incompatible!
“...the secular humanist child is subject to proselytizing...”
it is not axiomatic that christian children proselytize. there is a law against such things and it is usually called harassment. if the proselytizing is unwanted, and someone is followed around for that purpose, then the person followed has the right to press criminal charges. it is a red herring to say that secular types are heroes trying to prevent religious harassment. it is obvious that the secular types have an agenda in mind and it is by all means hidden behind every manner of camouflage; one of those is the “establishment” clause in the constitution. it just does not exist and is being used to eradicate christianity from public view.
