| Message | This law is unecessary, the current law is adequate. |
| Date | 07:07:20, January 25, 2006 CET | From | Libertarian-Socialist Coalition | To | Debating the No teacher-led prayers |
| Message | The current law is not adequate. Any school district that legalizes teacher led school prayer alienates those students who do not share the same religious beliefs as the teacher. Obviously, this is not a problem in religious schools. Teachers are paid to teach, not to preach. |
