This morning we are reading how that the Supreme Court of the United States, in a six to three decision, upheld, or at least clarified that part of the First Amendment generally referred to as the Establishment Clause. In a normal world, I would choose not to take up the readers time in explaining the First Amendment or the Establishment Clause, however it has become increasing clear that basics civics is no longer taught in our schools and too many voters have no idea how these things work, what the Establishment Clause does and does not condone.
