"A Maryland school bus driver fears that she could lose her job because of onboard prayers by her young passengers." That first sentence gave me the impression that the kids were praying on their own and some despotic administrator wanted to fire the bus driver. When I think of all the things I've seen and heard on school buses, I couldn't figure out what the big deal was if kids were praying. But my guess is that what got her into trouble was _leading_ the prayer.

But this guy isn't just saying that. Note that she stopped leading them and they decided to continue on their own.

When Tsourakis was told last month by school transportation officials she had to stop leading the daily invocation or risk losing her job, she complied. But pupils from Shiloh Middle School decided they wanted to keep praying themselves -- and students at North Carroll High School decided to join in, too.

His words of "poisoned" are the real problem to me. That shows his real agenda.
