I'm annoyed...

... but not surprised by news stories such as this.

First of all, "separation of church and state" doesn't exist in the founding documents. "ESTABLISHMENT of religion" is prohibited, if I'm not mistaken. There's a difference.

Second--and I'm opening a can of worms with this rhetorical question--how come the military bases are prohibited from hosting Boy Scout troops because of the BSA's mention of God when there are military officers (known as chaplains) whose role in the military is to give religious instruction and guidance?
