mLine 6:
Line 6: − ::::You have to look at the big picture. Just because there are a handful of instances where you've witnessed repression of prayer, doesn't mean the government and schools in general try to stifle it. Anyone that believes prayer is limited to "silent prayer" so that nobody knows about it, is, I think, suffering from some sort of liberal phobia. --[[User:IanG|IanG]] 15:24, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
removing snide remarks
::That is false. My JROTC had a student Chaplain who lead prayers when we were decommissioning flags, the Campus Crusade for Christ prayed every morning before school on school property in a large group, and my drama group prayed before every show. The football team prayed before every game, in yearbooks seniors thank God for getting them through High School. There were bible meetings during lunch. So aside from some cases going too far, how was anything I put in there incorrect? There was one incident of a student who was told not to evangelize during her acceptance speech, and I agree that was inappropriate. However, one incident does not define the reality of it. There was a controversy, not several. --[[User:IanG|IanG]] 14:59, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
