:Thanks Philip, that seems like a fairly rational assessment. It does often seem like there is a double standard in these issues that is not often recognized. [[User:Feebasfactor|Feebasfactor]] 22:34, 3 March 2008 (EST)

I welcome Metcalfe saying that he's fine with a teacher praying with a class if everyone agrees, but very few people really base their view on that distinction and, frankly, Metcalfe himself didn't either.  It was Philip who introduced that distinction.  Nearly everyone who opposes all classroom prayer also opposes it even if no one objects.  Moreover, why would the objection of just one student be able to cause the censorship of everyone else?  That doesn't make much sense, and it is a form of censorship.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 22:40, 3 March 2008 (EST)
