Bob, I'm still lost with what is wrong with school being a "Jesus-free zone" (except for comparative religion classes in the upper grades).

Why should Jesus be in the schools, anyway? If Jesus is real, then Christian children should be able to internalize him and carry his spirit around with them, without having to constantly reinforce his presence with prayer. Isn't sixteen hours a day adequate for religious training and practice? If the religion is real, it seems to me that it should be.

Of course, if Jesus is in the schools along with Pan, Buddha, Allah and all the other deities, and atheist children are given equal time to do anti-prayers and explain rationally why they do not believe in God, then I think it would be more reasonable. But somehow I don't think that's exactly what the Christians have in mind!
