couple questions...one, isn't this unconstitutional???? last i saw it was. now, i don't want to get into a debate of whether prayer should or shouldn't be allowed.
i'm ticked that my kid is going to school at a place where the supreme court ruling is being ignored. or should i be?

am i wrong? i called and left a message about this yesterday am at the school, and today they had another prayer, which means my call was basically ignored.

if i want to pursue this, who do i call? state board of ed? or do i just ignore it, like other things i don't agree with there??

i don't want to get too public about it...i don't want my kids getting grief about it.

I would find out where your school board meeting is and go. If you really want it to stop you would make an official appearance in front of the school board and ask what the policy is. Then if the board says something like it is the principals choice or we will look into it just ask what the policy of the school district is. If they say a prayer is allowed you can then go back door and find ask to meet with the Sup. and say you will take it further legally. If the District is trying to make a statement you will find out. If they really dont want to waste money on this type of law suit I bet they tell the principal to stop with the prayer. If the district is trying to make a statement the ACLU is def. your best bet as they would take this on at no cost.
