- Now there you go again. I have never heard of a decision to restrict
- prayer in public places. The state is not permitted to display
- religious icons and imagery. The state cannot mandate (good word,
- eh?) a time for prayer without violating the 1st amendment. The state
- cannot restrict the exercise of religion, with a few noted exceptions,
- without violating the 1st. Notice that these things all deal with
- what the state cannot do.
-
- Oops. I forgot. The state doesn't allow burnt offerings to the god
- of Winston-Salem in public places. My mistake :-). IMHO.
