satan worshippers Should have the same rights to their prayers on government grounds as any other religion -- it is, after all, a freedom of speech issue, no?
But prayers to God are only allowed one minute. Satanism gets the rest of the school day.

her fellow teachers see the minute as just one more thing teachers must include in their already full days. Thats true. She still has to find time to read, do her nails, pay her bills, chat, take an afternoon nap......

I can see how that would seem like "an eternity" for an enemy of the cross....if you know what I mean. Exactly. One minute of demonic torment. I like it!!!

“When educators set aside a time for reflection, that's not just providing the opportunity, that's encouraging prayer,” said Raymond Vasvari, legal director of the Ohio branch of the American Civil Liberties Union. And yet, passing out condoms does nothing to encourage teenage sex.

Do not get too excited. This state's educational quality is less than stellar to say the least. There are far to many leftists and Marxists intrenched within the system especially in the main metropolitan areas(Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland(the worst of them all), Toledo, Akron-Canton area, just to name a few). If there is away to bypass it or use it to their advantage they will. We need moral clarity before we can get prayer back in. This bill fails to do that.

Ohio prayer bump!

“When educators set aside a time for reflection, that's not just providing the opportunity, that's encouraging prayer,” said Raymond Vasvari, legal director of the Ohio branch of the American Civil Liberties Union. The ACLU would know, since they spend so much time contemplating their own navals. I guess that's a religious activity to them.

Critics argue that such laws still threaten the Constitution's separation of religion and government. “When educators set aside a time for reflection, that's not just providing the opportunity, that's encouraging prayer,” said Raymond Vasvari, legal director of the Ohio branch of the American Civil Liberties Union. What a crock. It is in statements like this that the ACLU's true agenda is revealed. They make you believe that what they are worried about is children being forced to pray in a certain way and by a particular person, and then you hear the truth -- they're against prayer period.

I have heard about the mysterious "separation of church and state" hoax for years. What I have never heard is what in the hell those who advocate soCas are afraid of. They aren't afraid of hell, satan, demons, and the like but they are afraid of God. There has to be a screw loose some place.
Eternity without Christ is a HELL of a long time.

But prayers to God are only allowed one minute. Satanism gets the rest of the school dayWell, maybe not exactly. The Lord can do more with that minute the satan can with the other 1439.
Just proves to me everybody believes in God. They have to believe in Him in order to be afraid of Him and choose against Him. Some are just too afraid of Who He is. There are 1440 minutes in every 24 hour period. 1 / 1440 of every day devoted to prayer by all the Christian school children could have wonderfully fantastic results on all the rest. Trust the Lord to hear and open closed ears of many. Today 1 / 1440 of a day, tomorrow, even greater results. One minute a day times thousands of kids prayers, this is exciting to me. No, it's not the only answer, but it is a start. A foot in the closed door. Perhaps a blessing out of the horror of 9-11.
And never forget, one day soon, Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. He won't have to wait for a law to be passed in each state allowing His coming for His own and coming again to rule as this world has never been lead before. Come Lord Jesus.

“It's the longest 60 seconds of the day,” said Darner, a Democrat from Arlington. “But we do it because the law says we have to.” Is this teacher as hyper as the children?
