Ohio School Takes Down Jesus Portrait

[Neo-Scholastic]

-Secularism is the principle of separation of government institutions, and the persons mandated to represent the State, from religious institutions and religious dignitaries. So, it's a bit more than not having tests or taxes-to-fund.

But that's not what you want, is it. What you want is to prevent any so-called "state representatives" from expressing their own personal religious convictions while performing a state function. If a teacher wears a cross to work does that violate separation of church and state? Does that mean he or she is promoting a state religion? Eventually you'll say that a Jewish teacher cannot wear a yamaka or that building commissioners cannot wear the hijab at ribbon cutting ceremonies. Where does it end?

...On the other hand, I think if you give antisecularists an inch, they'll take a mile.

Agreed. I don't like bible-banging do-gooders either.
