From an Agape Press article:
Spring Grove Elementary School recently staged a holiday program that celebrated Hanukkah and Kwanzaa but excluded references to Christ and the Christmas story. School officials claim the multicultural concert, which also included references to Santa, was designed to be more inclusive of all holiday traditions and cultures. But attorney Andy Norman with the Alliance Defense Fund says the school engaged in illegal discrimination against Christians.
This paragraph says it all. In order to preserve a separation of church and state this school allowed a synagogue and state to be established and spiritist and state connection flourish. I wonder if they included a mosque and state connection?
The Constitution states (From The Legal Information Institute): Bill of Rights, Amendment I:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Congress cannot establish (notice it does not even mention favor) a religion, nor can it prohibit "the free exercise thereof." Unfortunately, what is done in the USA today is the state-sponsored favoring of humanism and secularism above religions and non-Christian religions over the Christian faith. Also, the courts (corrupt as they are), schools (as liberal and anti-God as they are) and much of the media and governmet often infringe on the Constitutional rights of Christians to exercise their (our) faith.
Also notice- the phrase "Separation of Church and State" does not exist in the Constitution of the United States. For a good read, pick up David Limbaugh's Persecution.
