Here is precisely what it says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibitng[sic] the free exercise thereof."

Now, do you see any room in there for anyone but Congress with the authority to establish a national religion?

Now that we've seen you interpret "Congress shall make no law" as meaning "Only Congress shall make a law," we're beginning to understand your other posts.

That is the plain meaning of the amendment. And we know that judges nor the executive branch, nor teachers, nor school districts, nor anyone else, has the authority to make law in the United States of America. The legislative branch and ONLY the legislative branch has that authority. Care to argue further? YOu don't have a constiuttional leg to stand on.
