I agree as well.

Yes, I agree also.

I agree with the public schools and mandated prayer (not good), having a moment
of silence or whatever is fine with me. I would like to see (If I have children,
or anyone who has children right now) to have a choice to which school they
could go to. (I would send mine to a really good Christian school I know of)
where they can pray all they want. The current system is totally against this,
however. I have to pay extra just for my kids going to a private school, I am
getting charged twice! The public schools seem to try to train most kids into
left-wing tree-hugging environmentalist wackos who can't do anything, like read
or write, and seem to worship diversity as a god in itself! Not for my kids!

It was a stupid thing to do, and I am glad it was overturned.
