The Arrow Mailbag: letters in response to Cassidy Agan’s letter in the Feb. 27 Arrow Mailbag
“Nothing in the First Amendment converts our public schools into religion-free zones, or requires all religious expression to be left behind at the schoolhouse door... religion is too important in our history and our heritage for us to keep it out of our schools... As long as it’s not sponsored by school officials and doesn’t interfere with other student’s rights (coerced participation), it mustn’t be denied.” (President Clinton, July 12, 1995) |
