Jewish School’s Team, Refusing to Play During Sabbath, Loses Trip to State Semifinals

[SB Shock]

It looks like the association has voluntarily decided it was better to change the time than face a temporary restraining order and federal law suit.

Isn't it the same issue on both sides............if the government makes changes to accomidate the religous group, then how is that separation?

The Seperation of church and state is about ensuring there is no "state religion"

[Maggie]

Arguably, the First Amendment doesn’t “require” the separation of church and state. Government can promote religion in a benign non-coercive way. Hence, a ton of case law about the necessity of reasonable accommodation. The point is not to set up a “Federal Church” but to allow for the free exercise of religion.

Edit: SB Shock sort of beat me to it.

What's with all this First Amendment banter?

I was under the impression that this situation was taking place in Texas. Surely, the Second Amendment is more appropriate.



Remember, kids, you can't spell Yosemite Sam without semite.
