Comments

There's no link to the case.

This is the famous case that ruled against school prayer authorized by the state.

These lawyers allow plagiarism of the catechism in their homicide statutes. They believe in mind reading, forecasting, and that standards of conduct should come from a fictitious character. This character is a thinly disguised avatar for Jesus. Then they have the nerve to say, a football team may not kneel for a minute before going into battle. Some nerve, these lawyers have.

[DaivdBehar]

What is maddening? Eugene is an expert on cases involving a tiny cross on a city flag. Yet, he remains oblivious to this glaring violation of the Establishment Clause. That is true of all other extremist, anti-religion lawyers as well.

This was a great decision.

[Dan Schiavetta]

Some say the principle has been taken too far, but imagine what this country would be like without Engel v. Vitale, especially in the "Bible Belt".

[Cal Cetín]

Schoolchildren would be taught dubious dogma as incontestable fact.

[AmosArch]

Agreed, we must remove competing dogmas in order to more efficiently brainwash our children with the one true dogma of pushing childhood gender transition and banishing the slur 'mother' in favor of 'birthing persons'.
