Praying is not illegal....in fact the constitution protects the right to do so...you should read it sometime, its a great document.

What you are attempting to say is a Supreme Court ruling that states...

What I am saying is that nothing that this school does when it comes to praying to a god that this already kid doesnt believe in, will change a thing in his life. Nothing. Period.

So he is doing no more than stirring up a hornets nest of crap that had no other ending than to come back and sting him right in the nose.

Was he within his rights to do so? Of course he was. Was it worth it and did it accomplish anything? Nope.
