Another Amazing Separation of Church and State Violation In Connecticut

This is unbelievable. Take some time to look at the links and the document itself.

From Mirrors of Justice:


"For the Bible Tells Me So"
This document, "For the Bible Tells Me So: A Study Guide and Advocacy Training Program", is posted on the State of Connecticut's official website (www.ct.gov). It is put out by the "Religion and Faith Program" of the Human Rights Campaign. According to the National Catholic Register, Connecticut's official promotion of this document (and a related film) -- the point of which is to instruct / convince people regarding a particular view of "the Bible and homosexuality" -- threatens the separation of church and state. I'm inclined to agree, and to think that this promotion is in tension with the Court's "hands off approach to religious doctrine".
For more on the "hands off" rule, see the articles collected in this Notre Dame Law Review symposium. And, for more on the unconstitutionality of a similar government effort, in Georgia, see this post by Eugene Volokh.
