Redundancy is redundant...
• Ensures the right to pray individually or in groups in private or public places, as long as the prayer does not disturb the peace or disrupt a meeting
So long as it was not the government doing something to encourage the prayer, this was already allowed.
• Prohibits the state from coercing religious activity.
First Amendment already bars this.
• Protects the right to pray on government property.
So long as it was not the government doing something to encourage the prayer, this was already allowed.
• Protects the right of legislative bodies to sponsor prayers and invocations.
The USSC has already said this was constitutional. Unless I am misunderstanding what this clause is supposed to do. (I'm reading it as opening their sessions with a prayer.)
• Says students need not take part in assignments or presentations that violate their religious beliefs.
Others have already addressed the problems with this one.
So in other words, Missouri did all this work to be allowed to...do what they could do anyway...
