Yes, yes, yes.  I commented on this on Facebook yesterday as well.  What a couple of friends said was that the problem isn't that prayer is "banned" but that teachers can't or won't teach morality.  Yet one of my adolescent friends said (and my 9-year-old, who goes to school in the same town, confirmed) that students are taught the Golden Rule from day one.  My son said that the school motto at his building is for students to be "respectful, caring, life-long learners."  What these other parents wanted, as it turned out, was for teachers to tell students that they shouldn't watch inappropriate movies/television and shouldn't play inappropriate games.  They want teachers to raise the students, not teach them.

These friends also tried to say that this country used to be "God-centered." When were we ever that?  When we butchered the natives, hung people for witchcraft, enslaved Africans, marginalized immigrants, and put Japanese Americans in internment camps?  Those things all happened during supposedly "godly" times in this country, but I fail to see godliness in those actions.

My husband is also a teacher, and I can confirm that he does, indeed, pray during the school day.  He has also *gasp* talked to students about God when they have asked him direct questions.  He has yet to be fired for either of those things.
