State Neutrality

School starts today in our school district.  In honor of this day, here is a post from Ronald Reagan.

Former Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart noted if religious exercises are held to be impermissible activity in schools, religion is placed at an artificial and state-created disadvantage… Refusal to permit religious exercises is seen not as the realization of state neutrality, but rather as the establishment of a religion of secularism.
