→Public School: I removed it, and here's why
: No, I think the intro should reflect the typical situation in public schools in America and other secularized, industrialized nations. The statement is correct for those nations. If you have evidence of classroom prayer in public school in any of those nations, I'd like to see it. Note, however, that the phrase is classroom prayer.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 21:33, 28 October 2007 (EDT)

::I removed the sentence before having seen the discussion here (and explained why in my edit comment).
::Andy, As Hsmom points out, the sentence is ''incorrect'', in that "public schools" refers, in some cases, to ''church-run'' schools. Here in Victoria, Australia, it is probably true that teachers don't have classroom prayer, but it is also true that classroom prayer is not "censored", as schools here (as explained in the article) do have a weekly "Religious Education" class in which classroom prayer would almost certainly occur (this class is taken by volunteer Christians, not by the school teachers).
