I don't want my kids, Dwight's or anybody else's forced to pray to a God they don't believe in. Are you suggesting that's what Dwight would have us use the Public Schools for? From what I can see if that is true he should be the one opposing school prayer because the kids would then have to stand before a stone image of the secular/humanist thing in some communities. My kids are Muslims. It is a religious requirement (not choice) that we bow, kneel, and prostrate ourselves before the God of Abraham, 5 times each day at particular periods. The constitution mandates that there will be no interference from the state in our religious practice. And yet, the current American consciousness about this opposes us praying at school. Isn't the state now blocking our practice, in violation of the original intent of the constitution. I think it originally was presumed that all of the colonists would be practicing their religion openly and in all sectors of public and private life. It was merely that the state would not be able to oppress them to going along with some dictatorial requirement to adhere to someone else's manner of worship.
