You apparently didn't get the sarcastic tone of my post. I'll use the </sarcasm> symbol the next time.
This is just another blatant attempt to stick the federal government in where it doesn't belong. You have freedom of religon, not freedom FROM religion. Teachers shouldn't be proselitizing but neither should they be prohibited from saying a silent prayer or wearing religions symbols.

Ah, sarcasm...I love it! I agree, teachers shouldn't proselitizing,(coaxing people from one church to thiers) but expressing faith isn't proselitizing. I agree also there isn't a freedom from religion. Atheists don't even relize that Atheism is a "religion". Atheists proclaim there isn't a God, yet they believe they are incharge of themselves. Only when they realize they aren't in control of thier environment, does thier "natural instinct" to call on God kick in!

You have freedom of religon, not freedom FROM religion. Are you implying that states have a legitimate power to impose religion on those who don't want it?
For example, should states be able to force someone to go to church?
