Freedom to pray should not be hindered, limited

Steve Corts writes at the Winston-Salem Journal: “The freedom to practice faith (in public and private) according to one’s own conscience, without fear of government favoritism or interference, is a national treasure kept in the First Amendment. For most of American history, this has included the freedom to pray publicly and uncensored before government assemblies. Until now. The ACLU has made a relatively new discovery that this practice is unconstitutional . . . This bullying works much of the time. When threatened, many cave quickly. But not all. To date, Forsyth County has not. It shouldn’t. The ACLU is not invincible and freedom is still invaluable.”
