Caller Mary: Kids Are Bad Because We Don't #Pray In #Schools!

[bjobotts]

6. Prayer was never taken out of school. FORCED prayer was.

Students can pray whenever they want but if Mary thinks her beliefs should be forced on others she misses the point of freedom from religion. Quakers tried to force prayer on others and it was why they wee thrown out of England. Our second great principle is tolerance...and prayer and religious beliefs are tolerated but should never be forced on others. I went from a MO school where you were sent home if you wore a t-shirt under a sweater or didn't wear socks to Phoenix HS where they had beard growing contests for rodeo week and were wearing shorts and sandals. Suddenly I felt free and loved going to school. Sorry Mary but you need to stop living in the past...in Mayberry. Watch Michael Moores' new movie "Where to Invade Next" and look at what Finland did to become number 1 for best educated students out of HS. They used to be like us but decided to make a change to make it better for students. Fearful people pray...spiritual people live... in the now.
