What do you think of this? (I heard about it on my church’s facebook page.)

Have to say, provided the reporting is correct, I agree with Fo. Fox also thinks there’s a War on Christmas, though, so I think verifying with a reputable news source is prudent.
That said, people really don’t understand the whole religion/prayer in schools thing. Prayer is legal, prayer is fine. It’s creating the appearance of school endorsement of that prayer/religion that’s the problem. I was assigned to read (parts of) the Bible in public high school (looong time ago admittedly). It wasn’t a big deal. Why? It was English class–as literature. All discussion was in that frame. Nobody cared, including Mr. Atheist here. And it was good to have read it.
