To: Tell It Right

There is no law against to people,having to witness someone praying. Seeing someone pray does force someone to become a Christian or join a religion. That is what the co situation is about, forcing people by way of penalty if they refuse, to join an “official religion” of any persuasion. A man praying for another in pub,it does not rise to force g anyone to do anything, and the left know this. Poli5icoans can even lay in public or read their Bible whike,while, job because it forces noone to become religious or join a religion

When the founding fathers agreed to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights (although technically the Bill of Rights amendments are amendments and not original articles of the Constitution, I like to think of them as part of the original plan because some states said they wouldn't ratify the Constitution until they were promised a bill of rights to amend it), what exactly did this statement mean?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

If you think they meant that a state paid coach can't pray at a football game, you've been drinking the Dim kool-aid. What it meant was, and is obvious from what was going on at the time, that the federal government won't force you to be part of a particular church to have freedom or be successful in life, nor will they punish you for being part of a particular church.

That's the kind of thing that had been going on at the time. That's what the Church of England had done (particularly with the king as the head of the church). That's what different states had already been doing. Basically, they wanted to ensure that the U.S. government was as open to different church memberships (or absence of church membership) as William Penn was when he set up Pennsylvania.

The 1st amendment doesn't guarantee you a right to not have to be around a Christian or someone expressing his Christian beliefs. Since this article is about a school employee, if anything the 1st amendment (combined with the 14th amendment extending this protections to the state level) protects Christians from having to answer biology tests where the only "right" answer is to believe that we all evolved from amoeba.

Thankfully America isn’t Canada ... yet ... where priests are arrested for preaching to Convoy truckers.

They are so afraid of God that they think this will happen.
