50th Anniversary

On this date in 1972, the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit ruled in Anderson v. Laird that mandatory chapel attendance at US service academies violated both the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment.  Despite the secular intent of mandatory chapel, which was part of the development of leaders of character, I agree that the method used was absolutely unconstitutional and that this case was correctly decided.
