Okay, I'm waiting to see which ambulance chaser will file suit in behalf
of these parents who are offended by what a teacher did.  I don't care
for what the teacher did and I could undo what was said (been there done
that!)

Parents irate after class told that Santa Claus is 'make-believe'

If the council members wish to meet on the front lawn and say a prayer
before they enter the civil building and start collecting their
paychecks,
that is nobody's business but their own.  If, however, they wish to use
any
portion of the time allotted for conducting the business of the
government,
that is equivalent to state funded religion and is unconstitutional.

------------------------

For almost 200 years, the states had prayer as part of government
rituals of various kinds. Some even had state religions.  Then the
Supreme Court 'found' language in the Constitution which had previously
not been there with no Constitutional Amendment to validate it, which
forbade prayer.  We still have 'In God We Trust' on our currency.  So
I submit prayer is not unconstitutional, but simply an arbitrary
decision.
