There’s no way students did that kind of thing in the early sixties.

This is classic deductive logic.

Reading the Bible was normal and common practice in public schools until it was banned around 1962. From then to now, it would have taken years of desensitization for students to be willing to openly mock. In the most liberal schools it would not be actively mocked any more than by fringe, sparsely distributed individuals.

There are several behavioral explanations for this. The most important is that people who mock Christians are always, to a person, sniveling cowards. So they don’t bully unless they’re sure they can get away with it. The leftist school employees sympathetic to the mockers are also severe cowards, so they will only do things they think won’t make public scrutiny.

I am not lying. Shame on you for that accusation. Did all of the students in the room behave that way? No. It was usually between two and four of them. Did the other students laugh at their antics? Yes. I have given you legitimate reasons why prayer and Bible study should not be a part of PUBLIC schools. If you want that sort of thing, a parochial school is the proper place.

It was banned because it was ruled to be Unconstitutional, which is the the correct ruling. Students in a school with mandatory attendance are "captive" to the classroom. Christian services with Muslin, Buddhist, Shinto, Native American, or people of any other faith constitutes a clear case of a State religion.

Listen here you two! I am a Christian. Specifically, I am a Missouri Synod Lutheran, LCMS. Our Doctrine is very specific. As a student, I was terribly offended to have to participate in anything that resembled a religious service with those people who did not normally worship with me. I was offended to have to endure a single person making a mockery of those activities, even if I was unhappy to be forcefully participating. Say what ever you like; but, religious practice of any kind belongs in a House of Worship or in the home.

The more I think about this, the worse it seems. You can't address the issue convincingly, so you attack me personally. How very leftist of you.
