Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Seems that too many people either never heard of the second part of just ignore it. It's as important as the first. Prohibiting prayer in school is *prohibiting the FREE exercise thereof*. If it's not free everywhere, it's not free.

Not only do government schools violate free exercise of religion, they can not be and never were religiously neutral. No matter what government schools do they will establish the religion of some and undermine the religion of others.
