Quote by: Whilletal However I also think the other side of that coin is you can't, and shouldn't, disallow someone the right to pray. |
No one's suggesting disallowing anyone the right to pray, Whilletal. Individual players can pray till they're blue in the face. They can pray before and after every play for all I care.
You just can't, in a government funded, compulsory public school, tell everyone to join in.

This is the opposite of government interference... it's government - in the form of public schools - staying OUT OF people's religion.
