[QUOTE="Jones, post: 290445, member: 4805"] As far as I know, no one has tried to completely eliminate prayer from school. I don't think a student saying a few hail mary's (or whatever religious sayings he prefers) before a test is a problem. What the courts have consistently said is that a public school system, set up by the local government and funded with taxpayer money collected by the state, cannot have a policy whereby they explicitly endorse one particular religion. [URL='https://web.archive.org/web/20110104001336/http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/faclibrary/case.aspx?case=Abington_School_District_v_Schempp']Having teachers lead their students in the lord's prayer every morning clearly falls into that category.[/URL] I think that's pretty consistent with what the Founding Fathers intended.
