This paragraph wasn't about prayer, but it's still good for an article about the Bible and public schools:

<blockquote>

<blockquote>

From 2004 to 2006, a [[public school]] banned [[Bible]] study by children ... ''during recess''. A teacher complained about the use of the [[Bible]] and the principal then censored the study activity, according to a sworn statement by a teacher told to stop it.  Principal "Summa, having learned of a complaint by a teacher and of the students' Bible study, told fourth-grade teacher Virginia Larue to nix the group's recess meeting.  Larue did, according to her deposition. In that sworn statement, Larue said she briefly informed Summa of a parental complaint about the Bible study, and Summa then instructed her to end the practice, citing fear over "separation of church and state." Larue later told one of Luke's Bible study colleagues the group could no longer meet at recess, according to the deposition."<ref>http://knoxnews.com/news/2008/jan/03/recess-bible-study-spurs-lawsuit/</ref>

: You are drawing a hairsplitting distinction that is not worth making.  Bible study is often associated with prayer, and if Bible study is banned, then prayer is also.  In borderline cases, we leave material in the entry because it is informative.  We disfavor censorship of valuable information.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 20:15, 27 January 2008 (EST)
