When we discuss separation, we need to understand a few things.
The word "Separation" never appears in the Constitution, but it is implied by the establishment clause and by some writings of the Founders. The Bill of Rights served only as a limitation on the Federal Government, until the 14th Amendment, at which point it was extended to the states.
I believe in an absolute separation of church and state, but when veterans erect a memorial, and others restore it from time to time, I think it wrong for us to desecrate that memorial.
My two cents.
