That's strictly true. Congress shall make no law... Until the 14th
amendment there was no specific passage in The Constitution to keep
States from violating their citizens natural rights that were Guaranteed
by the Federal Constitution. It was generally assumed that they
wouldn't dare. That was changed with the 14th amendment, but that still
doesn't apply, as the Commonwealth of Massotwoshits, is not Congress.
The Commonwealth is well within it's powers to create a State Religion
within Massachusetts, that is between the people and government of that
particular state. I'm not familiar enough with the state constitution,
of that particular benighted region to know if a state religion is
prohibited there, but it hardly matters, if it's like Connecticut,
enough of the state constitution is ignored to make any such point moot.
It's fun to live in a lawless society, if you get to enforce the "laws".

The menu... err. list of the forbidden words is not announced, as it

Is "CaNikon" on that list?

PS. That reminds me of a primary school teacher telling the students:
"Please remember these words well: you should never use them!"
Someone will end up having to sue them, and it will get knocked down.
If the government defines profane, that by extension defines sacred.
The government is not allowed to establish religion.
