Public institutions like schools must be neutral on the subject of religion, as required by the Constitution's First Amendment.This is such B.S. The first admendment requires no such neutrality! The word "Establish" makes it very clear what the law intends. The reason we are in such moral decay and have a selfish attitude in today's society is because we've allow IDIOTS like this to define the law on religious free speech.! It's the totally oppsite from the standard the securalists have set. In public discourse and especially public schools you should be debating and discussing religion as a topic every day!
Again, what the gov't can not do as required by law is "establish" a religion. Discussing religion and praying do NOT establish it, but rather positively foward the first admendment precept!

And as is usual in liberal debating tactics concerning the First Amendment, they ignore the *or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; * part.
