So you would not mind a teacher, leading a consenting group (like maybe 1 or 2 kids out of say 30) in a Satanic prayer? Oh, no, you meant the MAJORITY of the group. Ah, I see. You see, that is why we have this great republic. It also protects the minorities, or should anyhow. That has been it's strength and we must not let that be subverted. What is a majority at one moment may one day become a minority. Like ethical businessmen and politicians. ;) You can pray in school, just keep it between you and God, I don't want to here it.
