The Hershey Indivisible Team will host Dr. David O’Connell, assistant professor of Political Science at Dickinson College, in a discussion of “The Constitution, Religion and American Public Policy.” Dr. O’Connell will address principles that the founding fathers considered that caused them to stipulate a government with the separation of church and state and how that informs the decisions of our twenty-first century Courts. Whether the complaint is a religious display on public property or the Hobby Lobby case, the Courts are the final arbiter to decide the question. The First Amendment’s free speech protections are often seen differently by different folks.
