I say: let's get rid of school prayer I say, lets get rid of a one school fits all government controlled ( for all practical purposes ) monopoly.

Those who cry DIVERSITY DIVERSITY the loudest are the same ones fighting the hardest to preserve a monocultural school system.

The truth, as I see it, is that both the far left and the far right want to impose their values, through law, on everyone else.

Aha! Finally, a point of agreement!

Sadly, the rest of your post left me unconvinced that you are as libertarian as you'd like us to think. I'm not going to get into the pros and cons of forced or voluntary prayer in schools, or any of the other hot button 'left/right' issues with you here. IMO the sentence quoted above reflects the essence of what we argue about here.

Suffice it to say that I'm well right of center, and I object strongly to the direction Clinton & Co. has taken us.

I say: let's get rid of school prayer, national health care, and political correctness.

Okey doke, Karen, insert the word "mandatory," and let's do it! :-)
