Professor Brownstein Comments on Holiday Controversy
Alan Brownstein, a professor of law and legal expert on constitutional law, commented for the Kansas City Star on the debate over religious elements on public grounds during the holiday season. The public square and public schools are often at the center of the controversy as people cite the First Amendment in the Constitution on both sides.
In the article, Brownstein said some school officials play it too safe. "There are school administrators who say we can't have any religious music or you can't say, Christmas," he said, "and that pushes the attempt to respect the constitutional requirements far beyond what the law demands."
