I agree. The bull**** we have to put up with now is completely opposite of what Jefferson said in the letter. The commies on the court turned everything around on us in their efforts to destroy Christianity and all religion here in this country. JMO.
Black’asBlack’s opinion in Everson in efffect incorporated the Blaine Amendment into the Constitution.He was an old Klansman and wanted to block the efforts of to get federal aid for the Catholic parochial schools. So he simply reinterpreted the First Amendment and the 14th Amendments in such a way to reflect the Blaine Amendment’s provisions.He was trying to protect the Protestant character of the public schools,but his concept of separation of Church and state opened the way to nullify the traditional liberties of the Church as an institution.
