| Message | the state isn't involved thats why we leave this up to each individual school the state would be involved if we start telling schools not to do it |

| Message | But public schools are an arm of the state. Even private schools have tacit state support. If people want their kids to pray, can't they indoctrinate them at home or at the temple? |
