One of the many policies they mention is that “schools cannot require students to say the Pledge of Allegiance if it…

Martin Luther took an action that altered the religious (and, in some cases) political landscape of the entire Western world. Disgusted at the Catholic church’s insistence on the sale of indulgences and unconvinced as to their doctrine of “salvation by works,” the Wittenberg professor nailed a 95-point document to the front door of his university’s Catholic church.
