I guess freedom of speech and expression aren't a big hit with this particular judge.

The case not being on those matters I don't see how you can know that.

So religious speech isn't about freedom for it. Hm.

I thought speech was ... speech.

The case was about a prayer posted by a school not the speech of an individual.

Americans kids seemed to do better in school and on standardized world wide tests back when God was in the class room. Jus sayin.

Correlation does not equal causation, assuming you have stats on this.

It also helps that in those days most of the countries that are currently kicking the US's lower posterior region were incredibly poor, poorly governed, and war-torn/recovering from WWII.

It also helps that the tests themselves and the material covered weren't as complex as they currently are, and that the middle class was huge with little stratification of wealth (with the resulting glut of well-incomed kids with parents that cared greatly about education) .

So apparently there is nowhere outside the SC chambers that doesn't violate the establishment clause.

Oh, wait. There's a mural on the SC building that violates this interpretation.

Ceremonial deism in politics is different from religious indoctrination of other people's children by government employees.

And your cohorts don't get in the gutter? Humans have emotions. Nobody said any different.
Go ahead and point out all the constant comments made by atheists like the ones found on this high school girl's twitter page. Yes HIGH SCHOOL GIRL RECEIVING REAL LIFE THREATS FROM CHRISTIANS and you are trying to find a way to defend the behavior? Her address was posted online!

Religion once again has brought out the worst in people.
