An editorial sometime back in Analog magazine (sorry, can't find the
reference) suggested that maybe prayer in the schools wouldn't be so
bad, for if, as the previous poster suggests, the purpose of school
is to prepare the individual for adult life in society, one of the most
important lessons to learn is when to keep your mouth shut and not 
stick your neck out into the social emotional meatgrinder of "being
different" -- a lesson that Jews and Buddhists and Muslims and atheists
need to learn early in a "Christian" society. :-)
