It is only an interpretation, one that is law. BUT, I don't agree with that interpretation because if you read the first amendment it clearly states that CONGRESS will not make any law [blah], and if you read the
Federalist Papers it elaborates some more.
So tell me, which way do you think did the Founding Fathers intend us to go? This ridiculous path where you can't even pray in school? Or the path I'm advocating?
