The existence of government schools, not the absence of prayer in government schools, is the problem.
The existence of government schools is a greater threat to the continued freedom of the American People than any external enemy—because government schools were always INTENDED to turn American children into enemies of freedom.
Prayer in Government Schools—like Prayer in Whorehouses—is an issue that no one should be wasting any time, money, or energy on.
If I was trapped in a whorehouse I'd sure need prayer.
Public schools are not evil in themselves, they need to be permeated with Judeo-Christian values.
It's such a pointless issue, to me. People are free to pray on their own at any time. They can pray silently, 24/7. I've never understood why the same people who (rightly) criticize teachers for screwing up our children's education want them to lead our kids in prayer.
