Jun. 19, 2008 - 1st Amendment Rights... Or Not

I just read an article about a license plate that South Carolina is attempting to put into circulation (they have not as yet been told not to put them into circulation). The plates read ‘I believe’ and carry a cross superimposed over a stained glass window. A separation of church and state group is claiming that the plates violate their first amendment right.

I wonder though, do they really stop and think about it? Every day as I go about my business, I see people wearing head scarves and people wearing crosses or stars.

If we are allowed to show our faith by our clothing and jewelry, how is it any different than putting plates on your car? How does it violate someone else’s 1^st Amendment rights?

Please tell me if you have a clue.
