52% : The Supreme Court has long held that the establishment clause outlaws the recitation of prayer in public school.
50% : Reading Kennedy with last week's decision forcing Maine to fund private sectarian schools, a principle emerges: Under the guise of defending religious freedom, Christians have a First Amendment right to impose their faith on the rest of us.
49% : His expression was a quintessential example of on-the-job "government speech" that, according to Garcetti, falls outside the First Amendment.
47% : And because this prayer was allegedly so "quiet," it qualified as "private" expression shielded by the First Amendment.
44% : After Kennedy, what remains of the 60-year bar on prayer in public schools?
37% : Yet Gorsuch evinced no concern for the religious liberty of Muslims, Jews, Hindus, and atheists who may now be subjected to thinly veiled pressure to practice Christianity at school.
