You still don't understand what my problem is.

I think I have explained why this matters twice now. My problem is socialist. My problem is not just wanting a teacher to lead a moment of silence, I want God in public view. I want a manger scene on public property. I want a Menorah on public property. Heck, if a atheist wanted to put an empty stand on public property, I would be all for it. I would see a Nation that is free to exercise religion. When you stop God in any form from being in public view, you are limiting the free exercise of religion and this is unconstitutional. This is my problem.

Now, allow me to ask you why does it matter if a teacher does lead a moment of silence? What does it hurt? Is this making you and your family go to church on Sunday? Is it endorsing a particular religion?

So what exactly do you want in the classroom to put God in public view? Images of Jesus/God hanging on the walls? A statue of The Ten Commandments on the teacher’s desk? Crosses at each student’s desk?

I agree with all of that and I know what the Constitution says.

What I don’t get is your need to have a “middleman”, so to speak, tell the kids they can do what they already have a right to do.
