"Congress shall make no law

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?
Agreed. What I have a problem with is your "moment of silence" implication that they must keep their prayers silent.
BTW, nowhere in the Constitution do I find anything about your (or my) right not to be offended by someone else's exercise of their First Amendment rights.
In fact, we seem to be doing a fair job of exercising them here -- and I don't see anyone bleeding...
