I grew up the only Presbyterian in the heart of Dixie and really felt out of place during all their fundamentalist prayers broadcast over the speakers at school.

First a Presbyterian then a Methodist?........ explains everything.

No reason for prayer OR a moment of silence for reflection IN public school. It's just stupid politics.

A moment of silence is prayer in sheep's clothing IMHO.

Children can pray in school anytime they want. It's not illegal. The only rule is they can't be disruptive while doing it.

If you want organized prayer in your child's school, send them to a religious school.
