School prayer was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Does that count as being 'passed by the left'? I'm not sure about the others but thank you for the examples.
> In general, I think you underestimate how much power religion had in 1950's America. It was constantly pushed on young people, and if you wanted to get a good job, you had to have "strong moral character" that was demonstrated by where you went on Sundays.
I don't think I do, because that is basically what I said in my last paragraph :) My point was that religious institutions certainly had a tremendous amount of power and influence not that long ago - in disagreement with you saying that universities have reached a point that religious institutions never have.
Yes, in those cases, a left-leaning supreme court made a ruling on a case brought by a left-leaning plaintiff with support from left-leaning nonprofits.
What I meant there was about the level of state funding and state support. The bachelor's requirement is also more universal than the church requirement was.
