These are rights? We have a right to prayer in school? And christmas plays in public schools? The school administrations are the ones who set standard for dress, and conduct in the public school system. Otherwise, there are Christian academies, and Catholics schools. Muting God's name at Government meetings? Removal of the Ten Commandments from courthouse should be left to the Government, they are government buildings. If you want to place the ten commandments on your front lawn then there should be no issue. The prayer in school, I believe, is posibley an idea that will eventually fade. Why? Not because people want to, but because as time goes on, the people who remember a time when there was prayer in school won't be around anymore. Let me put it to you this way, I never prayed in school, there fore my fighting for something I have never experienced is pretty remote. Plus, I don't understand the big push for prayer in schools? The poeple who talk about it talk about it with fierce conviction, which is not a problem, but I don't see what it is going to add to the school experience?
And what about children who have not the same belief, we allow them to get singled out. It is bad enough some kids get teased because they can't afford to wear J Crew or Gap.
