Sure, I wasn't around when school prayer existed, and even to me, the concept seems so quaint now, if not alien. But I know what the original purpose of the 1st Amendment was, which was to allow religious expression to fluorish under a diverse free market of ideas. These days, especially with our "politically correct" thought police out there, "separation of church and state" means restricting religion out of areas deemed "religion-free" zones.

Why do you think the school prayer is an example of religious expression?

Back then, school prayer was as acceptable as teaching the alphabet.

It wasn't in the 1950s when I was in school.
The preachers grumbled about it then too, but nobody really wanted their kid exposed to those other versions of christianity.
