Separation of Church and State (It's a long one)

[angus]

I keep trying to think of something intelligent to say about this.  I had read about this some time ago in the newspaper.  And was a little surprised, but this would not be the most bizarre bit of legislation to come out of Jackson.  I do not understand its motivation except in the context of sensationalism.  After all, there is the Texas case, which is being argued by a bum, the Roy Moore fiasco, which led to his political ouster, and a number of pending cases involving separation of church and state.  It seems like a violation of federal law to me as well, but what do I know, I'm not a lawyer.  It'll be interesting to watch this get challenged.  Certainly Mississippi has more pressing problems, and the debate time would have been better spent discussing serious budgetary issues.
