CHURCH AND STATE

[punkgrrrlie10]

So if you believe in seperation of church and state (which is not a quote of the forefathers that yoiu claim to support) to the extent that people cannot have a public prayer at a football game, you support putting limits on peoples free speech.

Since the Congress has made no law establishing a prayer in public schools it should be allowed.

I think you are missing the point of practical application here. In order to allow prayer in a public setting, a time would have to be instituted in order to have it, thus enacting and having state action. A kid who doesn't want to take his math test would basically say "oh yeah, I have to pray right now" and that disrupts the process of actual learning which the state is charged with doing in a public education system. THat's what people are paying their taxes for. If people want their kids to pray so badly, they send them to private schools.

And it's nice that you agree w/that person's OPINION, and that it reflects your OPINION, but that doesn't mean it's the correct interpretation of the 1st amendment nor the application of it to the states through the 14th. You can think that burning babies is a great thing, but that doesn't make it law.
