Update: After this page was started in 2013 the 2017 FL legislature passed Ch_2017-074.pdf "The Freedom of Religious Expression Law" for all 67 county school boards to adopt in 2018. The Freedom of Religious Expression Law is now especially safe guarded in Florida.

General Nullification History links:I. Nullify Establishment Tyranny: a.k.a. Establishment of Religion Clause Preservation Act.
I don't know how detailed this should be but perhaps just a simple law defining "establishment" in the great state is all that is needed. However this div is similar to Jefferson's non establishment bill.
Preamble for The First Amendment Preservation Act (Part 1):
Section I.
- Whereas, The United States of America has a default culture based in part on a default religion of which there are many sects and denominations none of which have been established by Congress or any state law since Thomas Jefferson's Religious Freedom Act of 1777. ] [
] ,
- Whereas, the courts have methodically found an "establishment of religion" around every "penumbra" and then declaring any exercise of religion or faith, or any sect's demonstration of tradition as an establishment of religion.
- Whereas, the courts have used a unconstitutional clause i.e. "separation of church and state" to strike biased decrees against America's unestablished default religion.
- Whereas, under the first amendment there is no "establishment of religion" and references to it are void and unenforceable.
- Whereas, in all of the founding documents there is no "separation of church and state" clause and references to it are void and unenforceable.
- Therefore, it is necessary to liberate the church from the "separation" clause and to define the requirements for an "establishment of religion" in the great state of __(STATE)__ .
The "separation of church and state" clause is not in the founding documents of __(STATE)__ nor federal and is therefore unenforceable, null and void.
Under the 1st and 10th Amendments of the Constitution of the United States and The __(STATE)__ Constitution Article (?). SECTION (§ ?). "Religious freedom" , the clause "establishment of religion", whether state or federal, shall be interpreted to mean a law that specifically identifies a named, legally incorporated and state registered religious sect or denomination that (receives a majority of it's support directly from the government) is directly government supported. Unless a specific law can be cited where a religious corporation specifically meets these criteria, there is no legal standing for establishment.
Section I.
Under the 1st and 10th Amendments of the Constitution of the United States and __STATE__ (Florida Constitution Article 1. SECTION 3."Religious freedom" ), the clause "establishment of religion", whether state or federal, shall be interpreted to mean a law that specifically identifies a certain named, legally incorporated and state registered religious sect or denomination that is identified and "directly established" by the state legislature as the state's religion and where the staff and employees are "directly supported" i.e employed by and on the payroll of the state. Unless a specific duly enacted law of establishment can be cited there is no standing for establishment. (from 2015-01-eNL.ReligiousFreedomSchools.html )
Section II.
A government's public acknowledgment of religion or "indirect support" shall not include nor be limited to: public: schools, buildings, roads, curbs, sidewalks, water, sewer, gas, telephone or electric utilities, police and fire rescue services, political representation of the voting community; nor does it apply to indirect support of general, free expressions of religion by government officials or employees, religious groups, sects or denominations or other cultural traditions or incidental public acknowledgment of religious: speech, prayer, worship, music, literature, holidays, decorations, monuments, symbols, events or rituals of non established religious individuals, sects, denominations or ad hoc groups thereof, nor miscellaneous funding or grants for performing acts of charity, ministry, or education.
Any civil agency or governmental locale that changes, modifies, or terminates (any free speech of or about) any traditional religious: holidays, decorations, monuments, displays, symbols, events or rituals shall call for a decision by referendum of the citizens of that civil agency or that governmental locale.
Section III.
A government's commercial business contracts for business or ministry services with, for or by non-established religions, sects, denominations, groups or individuals involving commercial business activities shall not lack the rights of: self government, free conscience, free assembly and free association.
Section IV.
We declare, that the rights herein are of the natural rights of mankind, and that if any court decisions shall find an establishment of religion that violates this act or if any act shall be hereafter passed to repeal the present or to narrow its operation, such actions will be an infringement of natural right; the authors of such shall be subject to immediate investigation by a Special Grand Jury of The People and be subject to the following penalties: (ref.)
Section V.
- Any agent or employee of this state, or of any political subdivision of this state who knowingly violates the prohibitions of this act shall be deemed to have resigned any commission from the State of __(STATE)__ which he or she may possess, his or her office shall be deemed vacant, and he or she shall be forever thereafter ineligible to any office of trust, honor or emolument under the laws of this State.
- A political subdivision of this state may not receive state grant funds if the political subdivision adopts a rule, order, ordinance, or policy under which the political subdivision violates this Act. State grant funds for the political subdivision shall be denied for the fiscal year following the year in which a final determination in an action brought under this section is made that the political subdivision has intentionally required actions which violate the prohibitions in this Act.
- Any corporation or person that provides services to or on behalf of this state and violates the prohibitions of this act shall be forever ineligible to act on behalf of, or provide services to, this state or any political subdivision of this state. (ref.) .
This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor and shall be retroactive on all __(STATE)__ districts and localities, and federal and state case law.
