::Thanks for the prompt response.  Your definition is interesting.  I wonder about some aspects, however.  For example, point 2 seems too broad to be meaningful.  What does "removal of information" mean in the context of prayer?  Surely censorship requires the prevention of information passing from one person to another.  That is at the heart of my comment above.  Prayer, as I understand it, is between an individual and the Almighty.  I do not see how any human authority could prevent such communication.  Further, refusing to allow classroom prayer does not stop anyone diseminating Christian (or other religious) ideas at school.  Free discussion is still allowed (so far as I am aware).  It seems to me to be a doubtful example at best.  Do the cases that you refer to throw any light on the issue?  I have not had the pleasure of reading them.  --[[User:TCochrane|TCochrane]] 18:14, 26 December 2008 (EST)
