Two Florida school officials won't go to jail for praying

[--Pete]

Hi,

One small nit:

. . . but not to invoke religion in a public school event where they are authorities.

I think that should read ". . . not to publicly invoke religion . . ." I believe you agree, from what you said earlier in the post. I mention this because many I've discussed this with have claimed that forbidding prayer in public schools is a violation of the first amendment. My reply is that private prayer is *always* permissible, but if the prayer has to be said aloud it is no longer private.
