gbrk asks, "Who is it that is forcing their opinion and belief on people now? Much worse on Children.?"
Answer: A lot fewer than have done so in the past--fortunately!
In the public schools of Davidson County, Tennessee and during my childhood, prayers were routinely said at the beginning of the school day. The prayers were strongly Christian-oriented, since the great majority of students were from Christian families. They were consistently made "in Jesus' name."
In those same public school classrooms there was typically a small minority of Jewish students, whose religion, of course, does not recognize Jesus as a divine person. Nevertheless, these Jewish students were a captive audience during this daily recitation of prayers. I submit that their minority rights were violated by their being required, on a daily basis, to attend a religious exercise with an orientation that was preferential to a belief system fundamentally inconsistent with their religious beliefs. One might argue that they could have requested to leave the classroom during the prayer. For elementary school students, however, such a routine exit from the classroom by the religious minority students would constitute an unacceptable stigmatization, given the way children of that age range see things. The Jewish kids I knew were intimidated by even the suggestion that they should do something to avoid becoming, by their presence, the captive audience of a religious observance inconsistent with their beliefs.
In those public schools today, the grandchildren of the little Ben and Sam and Sarah I knew in the 1940s and 1950s do not have to submit to this embarrassing and unconstitutional situation, thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court and its very legal and correct interpretation of the First Amendment. Thanks to the Supreme Court, no longer may the public schools of this nation use their government-conferred authority to impose government-devised, government-prescribed prayers upon public school students. The First Amendment is alive and well in the public schools of Davidson County and the U.S.A.!
