Jews only have this kind of power because they largely abandoned their culture and assimilated to American Christian society.
You obviously haven't been to Houston/LA/NY

Nah, man. Y'all still have bar mitzvahs and a religion that few of the followers actually believe. It's just like the old country. You're not American at all.

Are you really asking how it is illegal for a public institution to promote a religion?

Doesn't piss me off, honestly. I don't have a problem with Christianity.
If someone was using your tax money to pay for an Islamic symbol, you might see it differently.

Most of us are Jewish by culture first and religion second. To say that we have ditched Jewish culture for American culture is wrong.

Yeah, it's totally constitutional. Definitely not an amendment specifically prohibiting it.

Public university = supported by tax funds (partially).
Did a donor complain? Did a player? Because I'm 100% sure that tax dollars did not pay for the helmet stickers. Hell the $500K paycheck they got from UT last week is larger than the cost of all the uniforms, equipment, and operating expenses for the Ak State football program for next 5 years. Did UT complain?

Doesn't really matter which specific funds were allocated for the stickers.
I don't believe stAte's athletic department is self-sustaining, by the way. Even if it were, it would not have reached sustainability without past tax funding.

True, but what if the helmet stickers were purchased by a team member's parents? Or were purchased by a private entity which donated them to the football program?
Are the players not allowed to memorialize a teammate as they see fit if the helmet stickers were not purchased by the university?

The sun is roughly 10,000°F or about 5,800 K
Magma, on the other hand, is a solid OT 8, IRL 10.
Pagans worship the sun, we worship magma. She is hotter.

Not with a religious symbol.

quote:
The word 'religion' is not defined in the Constitution. We must go elsewhere, therefore, to ascertain its meaning, and nowhere more appropriately, we think, than to the history of the times in the midst of which the provision was adopted." The court found that the leaders in advocating and formulating the constitutional guarantee of religious liberty were James Madison and Thomas Jefferson. Quoting the "separation" paragraph from Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists, the court concluded that, "coming as this does from an acknowledged leader of the advocates of the measure, it may be accepted almost as an authoritative declaration of the scope and effect of the amendment thus secured."
quote:
The centrality of the "separation" concept to the Religion Clauses of the Constitution was made explicit in Everson v. Board of Education...This was the first case in which the court applied the Establishment Clause to the laws of a state, having interpreted the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment as applying the Bill of Rights to the states as well as the federal legislature. Citing Jefferson, the court concluded that "The First Amendment has erected a wall between church and state. That wall must be kept high and impregnable. We could not approve the slightest breach."
quote:
In 1962, the Supreme Court addressed the issue of officially-sponsored prayer or religious recitations in public schools. In Engel v. Vitale...determined it unconstitutional for state officials to compose an official school prayer and require its recitation in public schools, even when the prayer is non-denominational and students may excuse themselves from participation. As the Court stated:
The petitioners contend, among other things, that the state laws requiring or permitting use of the Regents' prayer must be struck down as a violation of the Establishment Clause because that prayer was composed by governmental officials as a part of a governmental program to further religious beliefs
