> People are alowed to pray in school, schools just arn't allowed to force people to pray.

Think again. In at least some states -- possibly all, but I'm not sure -- you can't pray, period. I did anyway, and fortunately I went to schools where it was not made a big deal. But, then, I tend to pray inconspicuously anyway, so who knows.

Obviously forced prayer is wrong, but even going so far as to remove optional school sponsored prayer was, I firmly believe, going too far. Regardless, it is clear that ruling against prayer under any circumstances is not only wrong but no business of the people who made and enforce those rules.
