Your solution appears to be for the jackbooted thugs down at the government to write a prayer.

That's what got us into trouble in the first place ~ someone objected to the Regent's Prayer in New York ~ it was written by the government ~ and the Supreme Court said "you can't do that". They then went on to specify several extra-constitutional tests in the matter, and it's gone down hill from there.

Best bet is for you and your buddies who like those government written prayers to go back to Europe where they do that sort of thing.

I guess you can't read. I said already that I support a student's right to thank God or say a small prayer. I do not support effort to engage in proslytization and introducing religous initiation rites into what is supposed to be a speech.
