public schools? Just becuase Prayer isn't forced on the student body and lead by Teachers, it doesn't stop your kid as an individual from praying to themselves in class, before class, after class, or any other time they want as an individual!
i don't hear muslims, jews, wiccans, pagans, buddists, hindus, rastafarians, satanists, diests etc, complaining that the rest of the class isn't doing their prayers along with them!

So why the debate over something that should be the responsibility of the Parents and/or a spiritual leader to instill in a child, not a teacher?
