[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The constitution applies to black people too. You don’t get to sing Jesus songs in public school just because you’re black or because it’s a traditionally black song. And btw, adding other religious songs doesn’t make it better. [/quote] THIS. [/quote] Well, this is what the constitution says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;". Cases related to holiday religious displays/music in schools are interesting and complicated. Courts have affirmed the choice of some districts to strictly limit displays and performances with religious content, but have also suggested that music with religious themes can be permissible as long as it is educational and not so weighted toward one faith tradition that it begins to "establish" that religion.[/quote]
