41. After reading that recent ID decision I am not convinced.
I am no lawer but looking over that decision it shure seemed like doing this would legaly represent a preceved indorcement of a particular religion over others. Just because something is 'optional' does not mean it is ok within the establishment clause... if I understand it correctly.

Furthermore unlike say a student organization after school... a much better argument can be made on the basis that actual tax money is going to fund this etc.

I seriously doubt it will survive court chalange but that is not the point... they wan't to push their message and have already succeded in sending the chilling message they wanted to.
