It would be a violation of the U. S. Constitution for Congress to make any law regarding religion.

Those who wish to celebrate this religion, which is alien to our historical tradition and culture, are free to do so without hindrance from government.

Even Christianity, a religion woven into the fabric of our national soul, may not be touched by government. Government must remain forever neutral with respect to religion.

separation of church and state only applies to christianity

I read a while back, not sure of the source (sorry) public schools were making room in classrooms so muslim students could pray numerous times through the day.

I think it was in Michigan. At least two years ago I read that.

Should we officially recognize wiccan holy days? What about Buddhism? Do Buddhists have any holy days? I know a Mayan Reiki. Maybe we should see if there are any days he thinks the U.S. should officially observe.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with a child praying, though making room for them to do so might be problematic. Of course, when it comes to Christianity, the "educators" always seem to forget that anyone has a right to pray anywhere they want, and the government can't stop them.
