But if I understand your position--and I may not because the screaming level got so loud yesterday that I ducked--you are in favor of formalized prayer in the schools. The rest of the posting to which you are responding addresses my discomfort with this position.

If I recall correctly, you are a Quaker. I grew up steeped in Roman Catholicism. Both of us learned that one can and should pray in the privacy of one's mind and heart as well as in churches, temples, whatever. Why is prayer suitable in a school, presumably attended by children of many differing faiths?
