   No?  I didn't say "Government officials".  I said "public facility".   
   The statement was:   
      
   " They are not entitled to use the public facilities to practice or   
   advance their faith."   
      
   They are and the Supreme Court has ruled so.

   You should try to read a little more carefully.
