But I’m a strict interpreter of the Constitution. So I must reluctantly say that such a prayer would be unconstitutional.

Really?

You are apparently a "strict interpreter of the Constitution" who never actually read the Constitution otherwise you would know that it says the exact opposite of what you are saying.

Here is the actual first amendment in it's entirety.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

You see the part in bold print? That is EXACTLY what you are doing.

Kindly see my posts #123 and 124. I’m more concerned about the Equal Protection clause.

But yes, I suppose the 1A might apply here also. Congress cannot prohibit the free exercise of religion. But that does not mean there can be no restrictions whatsoever on religion.

And we’re not talking about a private home here. We are talking about a public school. Reasonable restrictions apply. I guess the sticking point here is what constitutes a reasonable restriction.
