How conveniently you ignore the second half:

--------------------------------------------

"Congress shall make no law

respecting an establishment of religion,

or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"

--------------------------------------------

The second part means that school children can pray; moment of silence is OK with me, our sometimes stupid courts notwithstanding. I also have no objection to giving parents vouchers they can use to pay for parochial schools.

The first part means that public school teachers/officials cannot lead sectarian prayers as part of their job.

It all seems pretty clear to me. Any problems?
