| | As I stated above, I think the laws in the US take it too far. My opnion is different from yours, as yours are to mine. I dont think prayer should be raised in the classroom, thats what I think however I dont think it matters if the class agrees to pray or a coach joins his team in prayer before the big match. In my high school (jeez, how many years ago now!) there was prayer in assembly and a group of christians formed a club that used to meet at lunchtimes for bible study etc. There are many other avenues for prayer and religion, like I have stated above and, if there are these avenues, then it need not be brought into English lessons for example. But, I understand that in the US you dont have these avenues. That is my opinion and I believe it is fair to all in the multicultural society of NZ. But again, I know it is different for you in the US. | | As I stated above, I think the laws in the US take it too far. My opnion is different from yours, as yours are to mine.

| | + | : Metcalfe, in other words, like nearly all [[atheists]], you oppose classroom prayer. You can say that in only four words.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 17:06, 4 March 2008 (EST) |
