My friend that is miss information being forced on an unknowing public. Jay Sekulow at the American Center for Law and Justice has a gaggle of Christian lawyers who travel the nation forcing these uninformed school boards and principles that student lead and initiated prayer and bible reading is perfectly legal. He has taken cases as far as the Supreme Court of the United States and had victory.
In some cases these poor folks are missguided and in some places they are just flat anti Christ- either way the law is the law and they have to submit- at least for now.
