You make some good points and you seem like reasoning individuals, so please take this message to heart: LEGALIZE THE CONSTITUTION!
You reference the constitution and caselaw that has turned "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech" into a wall between church and state that is inpenetrable and taken to such an extreme that citizens, in a community atmosphere provided by the state, must supress their free speech and have to hide their religion. Tell me, do you think that is what the Constitution intended?
We are a pluralistic society. I would rather live in a diverse country where if there was a high school with 99% muslims they could display a Quote from the Quran in their community to show their heritage, just as I would be able to do in mine. If I lived in a place where I was the minority, I would have to understand those inconveniences are are my choice.
The whole argument about us having to give every religion equal time if we give any religion anything is deceptive as it is COMPLETELY INACCURATE. It isn't in the Constitution, and was put there by 9 unelected individuals who collectively act like a MONARCH. Really, the S.C. should LEGALIZE THE CONSTITUTION instead of change it if and when they see fit.
If they stuck to the Constitution here the signs would still be displayed and nobody would have anything to complain about....because holding up a sign DOES NOT EQUAL CONGRESS MAKING A LAW RESPECTING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A RELIGION NO MATTER HOW FAR YOU STRETCH IT. If anything, the only reasonable thing to say is that stopping the signs BOTH PROHIBITS THE FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION & ABRIDGES FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
Don't think like a trained monkey. Think analytically and for yourself...regardless of what the Monarch has said in the past.
Cheerleaders’ religious signs draw fire
