NB,

What you believe very strongly is irrelevant to law. There's a reason why the school didn't fight this. They and their attorneys know very well that they're in violation of established law and they'd lose the case and a lot of tax-payer money that ought to be used to actually educate students. If you actually think your very strong personal beliefs mean anything vs. the US Constitution, please file a lawsuit based on your beliefs and interpretations and let us know, so we can follow it.

 

There is a lot of leeway and protection for personal expression (moment of silence is appropriate) but don't confuse that with a government agency cramming any one specific religion down the throats of a totally captive audience. That is wrong and also happens to be against the law.

Robustus, you are right on, but do not expect to convert to your view those whose positions are rooted not in law or logic, but in their emotions!
