Tennessee Islamic Foot Washing Station revealed to be a a Mop Sink

Apparently after some renovations at the Tennessee State Capitol, some Legislators, including Republican Sen. Bill Ketron and Rep. Judd Matheny (who is now denying involvment), became aware of a mop bucket that they believed to be potentially a Muslim Foot Washing station, enabling Muslims to wash their feet before praying. Upon investigation, the Mop Sinks true purpose was revealed, and everybody settled down. Here's the link --> http://www.tennessean.com/viewart/20130325/NEWS02/303250057/TN-lawmakers-confuse-mop-sink-Muslim-foot-washing-sink

So yes, Tennessee legislators are kind of dumb - but it did set me to thinking - would it be a bad thing if it were a foot washing station? Or would that be an infringement of the Separation of Church and State?
