A letter to the Daily News Tuesday says that “our children are taught that it’s not right or ‘legal’ to pray in school. We’ve removed prayer.”
No matter how many times conservative Christians make this claim, it’s not true. Children have the right to pray, to hold prayer groups (assuming equivalent secular groups are allowed to use the campus), to say grace, to read their Bible in breaks. When administrators have objected to a legimate expression of faith, the courts have ruled against them—and the ACLU, contrary to the conservative delusion that it’s trying to wipe out all religion, has often fought for the Christian students caught up in these cases.
Drive a stake through it’s heart and let this nonsense stay in its grave.
