Plaintiff had claimed that comments by the school board president made when the censure motion was being considered-- comments drawing an analogy to events in the Biblical Garden of Eden-- violated the Establishment Clauses of the state and federal constitutions. The court disagreed, holding that the comments had a secular purpose and effect and did not unduly entangle the government with religion.
