By the way, what law is being broken by teacher-led prayer in school. Cite it. And if you cite a court, you are mistaken, because courts can't make laws.

The decisions against allowing school-led prayer are based on the Establishment Clause of the 14th Amendment as well as the 1st Amendment.

Tell me, would you like it if teachers in public schools took a time out during class to lead their students in prayer prostrated toward Mecca?

No, sorry. Again, the 1st Amendment is very specific. Judges and government aren't even mentioned in the 1st amendment, only Congress is mentioned. The 1st Amendment was never intended to apply to the states anyway since we know that states did in fact establish state denominations. The 14th Amendment has been perverted as badly as the 1st amendment. So, where is that law again? Please read the text of the law that says that government cannot promote religion.

I wouldn't live in such a community, but if that is what the local community wants, that is what "self government" means. The federal governnment has no business telling local communities what they can and cannot teach in schools.
