Nick,
You're wasting your breath man. It's not about prayer in the
classroom or even about religion in schools. She even said it herself,
it is NOT about religion in school, it's about Christianity in schools.
The debate is based on a dislike of Christianity. The dislike of
Christianity stems from a dislike of people like Robertson and Falwell
and the Christian fundamentalism that was fought in the 50's and 60's.
They see them and the Crusades and say that Christianity is bad and
lumps all Christians with them. It's disingenuous and close minded and
not really worth the time.

No what is being said is that any group should be allowed to use a
public
building so long as it does not interfere with the purpose of that
building, their intentions are legal, and there is enough space to
accommodate them.
