Huh? Where did I say censor religion? I believe in the First Amendment and the ability of everyone to practice or ignore their religion as they see fit.I thought you wanted judges to stop religious songs in schools, stop the ten commandments from being posted in government areas and to prevent teachers or coaches from leading prayers.
Sorry if I misunderstood. But if you do want judges to do that, you are endorsing censorship. There is nothing in the constitution preventing any of the above. Only some recent decisions by liberal judges.
Here is a page of the textbook all or nearly all of the men who wrote the first amendment read as children:
The New England Primer was used in homes, private and public schools from the 1600s until around 1900. None of the men who wrote the first amendment ever suggested it should not be supported by government. Or that it was unconstitutional for Congress to authorize the printing of Bibles. Or that church services could not be held in government buildings. Or that congress could not purchase land to give to Christian missionaries so they could set up schools and proselytize to the Indians.
I thought you wanted judges to stop religious songs in schools, stop the ten commandments from being posted in government areas and to prevent teachers or coaches from leading prayers.Private schools can have religious songs (right of assembly, free speech, free exercise of religion), government should stay out of religion (Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion), and teachers and coaches can lead prayers in private schools (right of assembly, free speech, free exercise of religion).
Feel free to do all that. I'm not censoring you. But if you try to impose your religious views on my kids in public school, I'll see you in court and I'll win. I'm sorry that you don't seem to understand.
Your argument for religious songs and prayers in public schools indicates that you are in favor of state sponsored religion (the question I asked but you didn't answer directly). Sorry, but we have little in common. Your view is directly opposite that expressed in the First Amendment. My sympathies to you.
