And students can pray, but I guess it's not REAL prayer if the students are being led by the principal and they are all praying to the same god, right?

The ideology of Tamara Scott and David Barton is what you get when you arrive at the intersection of cherry picking and a sensationalist media. You are convinced that the idea that no school-led prayer is a bad, bad thing and you are looking for things to confirm this on one side and on the other you have a media spoonfeeding you stories of wild violence, voila.
