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

I hear you. Did anyone actually file a complaint? Was it a victimless crime?

And therein lies the threat of systematic oppression, the idea that because nobody complains about it obviously they must not be being oppressed. And yet when athiests actually do stand up and complain about it they are derided as being whiney and soft skined.

Of course it wasn't a victimless crime. The crime is perpetrated on every youth present irrespective of their own personal beliefs. It is a crime because it corrupts all the standards you yourself claim to support of challenging and promoting self thought in our youth and it does so by circumventing critical thinking about these issues and supplanting it with implied religious authority and legitimicy. And this crime is even more dasterdly to take place in the schools where the target group are individuals who have not fully formed their ideas and philosophies. There is no challenge of higher enlightenment here just conformity and ostracization.
