Pennsylvania House Honors Landmark SCOTUS Decision By Declaring Public School Religious Freedom Month

According to AP, the Pennsylvania state House of Representatives yesterday unanimously passed House Resolution 351 declaring June 2013 as "Public School Religious Freedom Month."  June 17 is the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision in School District of Abington Township, Pennsylvania v. Schempp, striking down Pennsylvania's opening of the public school day with Bible reading and recitation of the Lord's Prayer. The House Resolution praises the Supreme Court's vindication of the rights of conscience.
