I'm afraid you are right. My wife is a teacher and she is one of the few conservatives at the school.She teaches young children and they said grace before lunch and she got chewed out over it.All the parents were OK with it, the children wanted to do it,but the school said no. What is happening in our public school system is really sad. If she was forcing the children to pray, that would be different.The school was the only party that had a problem.And just FYI - they have a book called “Buster's Sugartime” that talks about one characters 2 Mommy's. And That's ok. It's put out by PBS. Our tax dollars at work. And FRiend,one more thing - I'm not in San Francisco or Vermont. I'm in rural Arkansas in the Bible Belt. We really are in deep trouble.

After years and years of my kids in public schools (my youngest is 21) I can say with the facts on my side, that the bottom line problem is the parents. They have accepted mediocrity. Even in your case above, the parents need to protest, march, write letters, do something to bring back sanity to our schools. Only the parents can make the change but they have chosen to sit around and take it!!!
