Minnesota Capitol Hosts Satanic Display in Violation of Establishment Clause of 1st Amendment

By Glen Wallace

It is my contention that the Minnesota Government allowing a Satanic religious display violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the US Constitution. The

Establishment Clause of the First Amendment forbids the government from establishing an official religion or unduly favoring any religion over another. Given that there is a

limited amount of space in the Capitol Building and given there is an unlimited potential number of different religions, the Minnesota government is favoring this Satanic

religious organization over others by allowing the Satanists this space and time in the Minnesota State Capitol Building and not some other religion the same space and time for

a display there. Therefore, the State of Minnesota government is violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
Additionally, if the State is contending the display is a 'Free Speech Protected Event,' the State is clearly showing favoritism to one form of speech over another. I, for

instance, presumably would not be allowed to bring in, as a display on an easel, a political treatise in large font presenting my political philosophy for all the capitol

building visitors to see. How, therefore, is one to come to any other conclusion than that someone in state government, perhaps an elected politician in a high place, had a

hand in deciding to allow the Satanic display into what is supposed to be the people's house?
