Against religious conduct released and stated in violation of the free exercise clause under Trinity Lutheran. The Montana Supreme Court disagrees and that court held boring schools did not violate the federal constitution. This board should reverse that judgment.

There is a herd mentality around this building right now, where a lot of normallysmart people are literally saying things like, the most important thing is to be fast, even if ideas being advocated arent ready for prime time and cant withstand the scrutiny of debate. That is a really dumb idea. It is a ready, fire, aim approach. Do indeed need to work fast, but working fast is no substitute for working smart. Smart.
