Here's an interesting attempt by a Christian campus group at Hastings Law (Berkeley, CA) to try to get taxpayer money to fund their organization. These are law students at one of the top law schools in the country, yet they cannot understand the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution. If I were the Dean, I would throw them out of school for being unable to understand a well-established legal principle. They are wasting taxpayer money by bringing suit, and should be forced to pay for the costs of the lawsuit.
Here's the link for Americans United for Separation of Church and State's Amicus Curiae brief.
An odd thing happened when I called Hastings Law to get a statement from the school about this issue. The young woman in charge of press relations (who shall remain nameless) actually laughed at me when I was explaining why this issue was important to me. How inappropriate for someone who works in press relations! Especially when you consider that she works for one of the top law schools in the country, which of course means she will be dealing with numerous controversies as that is what the law is about, determining what the law says in the context of disputes between opposing parties. I am still a little in shock. And more than a little dismayed. Is this the level of competency and maturity to be found in our one of our most prestitious public institutions? How very sad.
