As was pointed out on ABC's morning show Sunday, "As long
as there are math tests, kids will pray in school!"  Nothing
*now* prevents kids from praying in school if they want to.

What I object to is having the state step into this
area which I consider to be very personal and private.  As
for "voluntary", how many kids would want to stand out in
a crowd and assert their rights *not* to "meditate"?
