Actually, not so much prayer as in a formal, bowed head prayer in the schools. I don't know that public prayer accomplishes much.....altho it might be nice if all kids grew up knowing there was such a thing. Prayer, though, is problemmatic. I would be more agreeable to starting each day with the reading of religious platitudes and other famous sayings that focus on character building. Did you really mean to say that? Isn't this the exact thing our forefathers fought so hard to get away from by moving to America and establishing our freedoms? Our forefathers fought to give us freedom OF religion not freedom FROM religion per se. I fully appreciate the wisdom of separating church from state. OTOH, I share some of what evangelicals feel because denying the 'planting of little seeds' in children can also lead to a barren earth.
