Bush... 5%
Hmm, for you guys that got 100% match with Bush you must have supported prayer in public schools... no comment
I'll comment.

No doubt about it! It is OBVIOUS that it's needed. Besides, you should be allowed to pray wherever you want, especially in school. Geesh, kids need all the positive influence they can get! I still can't imagine why anyone would be against it.

Well I took the question as "do you support ORGANIZED/routine prayer in school." I have no problem with people choosing to pray on their own, but having public schools leading a class in prayer to the Christian God is completely wrong, in my opinion.

My view is that only those who are truly interested in the outcome would take this poll...and are "most likely to actually vote".
Granted, all of the Storm2K membership won't post herein, but the trend so far appears to be a return to 2000 in sentiments..and that was razor-thin, or "split right down the middle".

I agree with both of you - organized prayer no, but moment of silence to pray to "whomever" or to gather your thoughts yes.

I never thought that the views of the public has changed since 2000. I think we are just as polarized IF NOT MORE. Regardless of who wins this election (aka which side

I have never heard of such a thing happening; I'm not sure where you're getting that from. Here in Virginia, we have a "moment of silence" at the beginning of every school day for the explicit purpose of prayer/meditation/whatever. This should be more than enough for religious individuals as far as I'm concerned; for me, it just wastes another moment of my day that I could be spending doing something I find constructive. For one thing, you have all but 7 of the 24 hours of the day to pray outside of school... why is it so crucial to fight to ensure that everyone has the right to pray in those 7 hours when students are supposed to be getting an education? Could it be the conservative agenda to ultimately reinstate Christianity in public life wherever and whenever possible? Nah, of course not, what am I thinking
