Not necessarily. I'm 23 and can remember assemblies where the principal would lead the school in a Christian prayer with no regard to people of other faiths, or lack thereof.

Telling you to source your bullsh*t is now claiming oppression?



Sorry, you make no sense.

How do you source a hypothetical? I didn't present a scientific study-- I asked a simple question.

If you support organized school prayer: Would you Still Support it if the Prayers Were in Hebrew?

If you don't support organized school prayer, then don't answer. The source for the question was my brain. If no one supported organized school prayer I imagine no one would answer and the topic would disappear.

I don't think anyone worth listening to is advocating any sort of prayer in public schools.

For the record, I wouldn't support it in any language.

The fact that we're trying to cater to all religions (and everything else) is weakening us. We've given the minority such a microphone that even the majority is intimidated.

What the hell is the point of talking about something that is not and has not been happening for a long time. You just want to find a way to trash Christians.

Well since prayer has been out of schools since the mid-1960's I am not sure where you went to school. Since you are 23 that mean you were in school in the late 1990, early 2000's and unless you live in a small town in backwater somewhere I just don't believe it.

organized school prayer is a step forward from organized gang bangers.

I remember prayer in the early to mid '70s - of course, that was Texas.
