'Headlines, hardship and hatred'

On the 65th anniversary of the first Supreme Court decision in favor of religious freedom, an interesting documentary on Vashti McCollum.

I had not heard the dtails before -- the suit began before I was born. The hatred, though, I remember very well.

Commentator Ron Rotunda is very wrong when he says most Americans now take separation of church and state as a matter of course. Where I grew up, hardly anyone did; and the persecution of Mrs. McCollum's son is something I've seen on Maui.
