BS,
There is no double standard. It is a creation of your imagination.
Prisoners and students have the same rights.
If a government prison or any of its employees issues (by issue, I presume it is bought by the government) religious material to prisoners, it is wrong.
If government employees lead prisoners in prayer or other religious observances, it is wrong.
The government would be establishing religion where there may have been none before
If government allows someone else to provide religious material to prisoners or allows prisoners to pray or conduct their own religious services that's fine if they treat all religions alike. They do have the right to regulate it for reasons of safety and not let it interfere with the missioin of the prison.
If a government school, or any of its employees provides religious materal to students, it is wrong. If government employees lead students in prayer or other religious observances, it is wrong.
The government would be establishing religion where there may have been none before.
If the government allows someone else to provide religious material to students or allows students to pray or conduct their own religious services that's fine if they treat all religions alike. They do have the right to regulate it for reasons of safety and not let it interfere with the mission of the school.
It's not my argument, davieboy! So it is not MY imagination. And you don't get to answer for others; so I win again!
Everything you try to cite as examples have nothing to do with the establishment clause of the Constitution...just as I have pointed out your error before! Congress had made no such law. You lose! Leading prayer by Gov't. employees (your example), is not Congressestablishing a law, if Gov't. did that! (That is only your opinion.)
Likewise...what you assert about schools is NOT Congress establishing a law! What law did Congress establish? This is the third time I have asked you liberals! Schools furnishing religious materials is NOT establishing a Congressional law! What law was established by Congress?
You liberals lose every time! Because, by the text of the establishment clause of the Constitutionthat you, davie, brought up here, does not reflect any law related to this issue! No law has been created as such...therefore, I have not imagined anything....but liberals have, in their interpretation of such! Thanks for not denying that such double standard exists...and thanks for acknowledging that no law has ever been created by Congress. Therefore; it must be OK.
Now...tell us why, davieboy, our free kids can't freely enjoy their individual religions in our schools or anywhere; but terrorist prisoners can in government funded and operated prisons! If you can answer and justify this; you will be a world scholar! The challenge has been issued!
