Title: Praise be unto Buddah! Another win for church/state separation
Post by: Erlkonig on April 29, 2003, 03:51:50 AM
Sorry guys, this one comes from the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals.  I don't think you can blame this on the filthy liberal-leftist commie sympathizing dope-smokers of the 9th in San Francisco.

The case in question concerns the constitutionality of supper prayer at the Virginia Military Institute, a state-operated military college in Lexington, Virginia.  Apparently, the Supreme Court has not made any rulings regarding the constitutionality of state-sponsored prayer at public institutions of higher learning, so the decision is novel.
