Yes. Doesn't have to be a majority even. The right is absolute, not contingent upon a vote (that is the way it usually works in practice however).
One of the arguements which is most offensive is "What about Wicca, what about Thuggery, what about Islamic fundamentalism? They are next! They are next! Do you want that? Do you want that?"
That line of reasoning assumes people are not rational, people are not tolerant and people cannot work things out by themselves.
Unelected judges must tell them what to do. We must censor religion because some people might abuse their freedom.

I believe "in practice" you are correct. I mean the school cannot be sued because the girl will NOT sing "The Lord's Prayer"...by the same token, the school should not be sued because the other kids DO sing it.
Geez...there are so many different types of people and communities in this country and I'm grateful to have that God-given right to live near and associate with the ones I choose. (Whatever happened to "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."?)

Yes, I see that. It seems to be the norm for liberals to always assume that "one bad apple will spoil the whole bunch."
