Jefferson for one new we needed to keep them separated. The reasons are, for now, to many to list here. I do agree with it though and support a complete separation. You can pray in school. People pray quietly all the time. It is class prayer that is not allowed, the open practicing of religion in a formal way. What you are saying is that you want to be able to show other people that you pray. Somehow, I doubt God really cares much how you pray to Him. Let me ask you, if I came into class every day and said a Satanic chant, maybe every hour, do you think most people would mind? You bet they would. Parents would freak out. And what if I was the teacher and came in and wore my Krishna getup? Handed out flowers and flyers asking for money? Where DO you separate it? Why does everyone think the past was so nice with prayer in school and "family values". Let's see, family values in white dominated south in 1860s - 1970s, with prayer in school and all, meant discriminating against blacks. In many cases killing them. Oops, well some people doing it anyway. Being a black mail in Alabama in the 50s was probably not the greatest thing in the world. Hey, what do you know, that is the same as today. Nothing ever really changes, people discriminate how they will, through all of time. Only now, in your face 24x7 repeat news never let's it end and sensationalizing everything.
