“Students remain free to pray on their own, in a non-disruptive manner, throughout the school day,” ACLU lawyer Adam Schwartz said in a statement. “As Judge Gettleman recognized in his decision, public school students in Illinois do not require the permission of the General Assembly to engage in this constitutionally protected activity."

Is this a restriction of the free exercise of religion? Doesn't sound like it to me. You need the government to tell you when and where you can pray? You can do that any time, any place you want.

Well, I am glad you can see it the ACLU’s way. I can't and wont. It is about a moment of silence, not if a kid is choosing to pray on his or her own. You can't stop that if you wanted too. I think it is good that a class get together and have a moment of silence. It is a free exercise of their own religion and there is nothing wrong with that.

The key is this:

socialist wish to remove God from public view. What has happened in Illinois is part of the plan. Why do socialist wish to remove God from public view? I am an American and I pray to my God for help. When God has been removed from public view, more and more people will begin to forget about God. When they no longer pray to God for help, they will start to pray to the guvment for help.

So, it is not about if kids can pray on their own or not. This can never be stopped. You can't tell if I am praying or just sitting and thinking. But you can stop a class room from praying and that is what they are doing. This is just another act that slowly erodes our individual strengths and slowly molds us into a collective people.

And may I add that if a moment of silence threatens atheist, then they are weak in their belief. Christians and other religions (except muzzy) have been compromising with atheist for years. I suppose that is because we are strong in our belief and we don't need a pray in school to make us feel strong. But for atheist to work so hard to remove pray in school and other forms of God in public view, they apparently feel threatened and are weak in their belief (or they are useful idiots for the socialist plan).

So, my kid can just bow her head and begin praying at anytime during the school day? When she get’s punished for “sleeping” or failing to pay attention in class - which WILL happen, then what?
I know, I will tell my kids that anytime you get called upon in class, just bow your head and pray - Judge Gettleman and the ACLU said it was okay to pray ANYTIME, on your own!
