         <description><![CDATA[
A mother and father in New York were subjected by their school district's attorney to a faith "sincerity test," which ultimately ruled their beliefs were too questionable to qualify for a religious exemption to mandatory student immunization

Ron and Rita Palma filed the exemption with their son's school district in 2006 after coming to the conclusion the year before that the required vaccinations violated their conscience and sense of God's leading for their family.

         <description><![CDATA[
President Obama's proposed economic stimulus plan makes a deliberate – and unconstitutional – attempt to censor religious speech and worship on school
campuses across the nation, according to a lawyer who argued related cases before the U.S. Supreme Court 20 years ago and won them all.

"This isn't like a convenient oversight. This is intentional. This legislation pokes its finger in the eyes of people who hold religious beliefs," Jay Sekulow, chief of the American Center for Law and Justice,...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Democrats in Congress have declared war on prayer, say conservative groups who object to a provision in the stimulus bill       that was passed by the House of Representatives last week.
The provision bans money designated for school renovation       from being spent on facilities that allow "religious worship." It has ignited a fury among critics who say it violates the       First Amendment and is an attempt to prevent religious practice in schools.
According to the bill, which the...]]></description>
