"[I]f there is any fixed star in our
constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can
prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other
matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith
therein." —Associate Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, majority
opinion in West Virginia State Board of Ed. v. Barnett (1942)
Too bad that Donald Trump never got around to
learning the lesson behind these words…
