Liberals don't understand that, as Americans, we have freedom OF religion and not freedom FROM religion.

And we're supposed to have in this country a separation of church and State, yet imbecile "conservative" politicians continue to inject religion into the political discussion to distract from the issues and appeal to a part of the electorate that in reality should not have the right to vote.

There was not supposed to be an ironclad "separation of church and state" as currently understood by liberals. The founders only wanted to be sure that membership in a state religion was not required and no particular religion was adopted as the "official" religion of the United States. Prayer in the public schools would have been ok with Washington, Adams, et al.

As was slavery, etc...your point?

Wasn't slavery eliminated with a constitutional amendment? I don't remember an amendment being passed to eliminate religion from public life.

Unless there is a constitutional amendment to ban prayer in public schools, it should be legal. The Supreme Court really screwed up that issue. There is nothing in the constitution to ban prayer in schools, at graduations, etc.
