The idea of ‘Separation of Church and State’ is misunderstood
Whenever I hear about that boring issue of prayer in schools, some dumbass always invokes “separation of church and state”. This idea is overused and abused by people who just plain have a vendetta against religion. All ‘Separation of Church and State’ means is that the government cannot establish a state religion, like the Church of England, in the USA. It doesn’t mean you can’t pray or do religious things in public places. So if you don’t like religion and don’t like public prayer, fine, try to get more laws telling people what they can and can’t do. But don’t pretend you have a precedent of the Founding Fathers.

Well, not exactly. While it’s not necessarily establishing a state religion, it is recognizing one religion over others if public schools, being government institutions, were to have Christian prayer as part of the school day. Now, no one is saying that you can’t pray in school. It just can’t be school sponsored.
