Of course you are absolutely right. The left has so infiltrated all the schools, from school boards on down to the teachers union, that the slip and slide leftwards was inevitable. Why teach truth, when you have an agenda?

I had a brief discussion with a woman from my church. She was bemoaning the prayer said in a school and I pointed out to her that it wasn't unconstitutional. She could not discuss it further with me as she had absolutely no knowledge of the topic. It was sort of an "is too, is too, is too...." type of discussion which ended when I said "where?" I will grant you I probably have 20 years on her, which means I *probably* have a much better education.

It was humiliating for her, as her husband is a politico who was working for Al Gore at the time.

Of course it's not unconstitutional. The separation of church and statement amendment is there to prevent the establishment of a national church, as a good many Americans had run away from the established Anglican church in England (good idea, to an extent) - the liberals forget the part where prohibiting free exercise of religion is also forbidden.

Secondly, invoking God has not been taboo for a very long time. FDR's speech on D-Day was more of a prayer than a political tract.
