Seems to me, prayer in schools is awful close to indoctrination. I
thought schools were meant to TEACH. If so, how about teaching about all
the people who have been killed in the name of Allah, Christ, God, whatever.
Seems to me most problems in the Middle East come down to religion. Rather
than perpetuating the problem, we should be educating the children to
understand why religion isn't necessary; you can take responsibility for
your own actions, and not foist them off on the will of some 'superior'
being. Religion has been used FOR TOO LONG as a tool to control the ignorant.
