No one should be forced to contribute to government-run schools. But for the use of force (at the point of a gun), they would cease to exist. But, apparently, government guns are good, private guns are evil. I simply don't care what people believe, and I feel no need to denigrate the beliefs of others to try to somehow prove my superiority. Grow up.

Amazingly stupid. Prayer has NEVER at any point been taken from schools. Bibles ARE allowed in schools as well. Christianity proves how useless it is with it's obsessive need to push itsself onto children while they are weak-minded, young and vulnerable. How right can your beliefs be if only fools and children will accept them???

And Mississippi will spened millions to defend a law that is unconstitutional, money that could be spent improving the lives of its citizens instead of trying to appease an imaginary big man up in the sky. No wonder that backwater would-be theocracy is last in everything.
